Hi all. I’m moving to Pittsburgh.
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t been posting very often lately and I’ve been traveling to and from Pittsburgh often. Instead, I’ve been occupying my time with applying to Carnegie Mellon University for grad school and organizing everything I own to move to Pittsburgh. I bought a house with my partner, Eric, a couple weeks ago and I am moving on the 21st of December. It’s all been wrapping up pretty fast, so, Champaign friends, let’s meet up before I leave?
My first ever Serious In-A-Chicago-Gallery Post-Undergraduate-Degree-Exhibition opens tomorrow morning.
Dwelling, curated by Pat Elifritz, runs from September 6th through October 19th, 2011 at Columbia College’s C33 Gallery [33 E. Congress Parkway, Chicago, IL 60605], with an opening reception taking place Thursday, September 8th, 2011 from 5-8pm.
“When we dwell, we seek refuge in the comforts allowed by shelter. Likewise, we may also dwell in the comforts of a protected recollection. We struggle to fabricate and penetrate these dwellings. In this exhibition thirteen artists explore dual-conceptions of what it means to ‘dwell’ by surveying the access, preservation and reconstruction of retrospective narrative, alongside the ingrained presence of the domicile.”
The Dress Project, Memory Archive & I’m Filling Up the Holes are included in this exhibition. More information on each of the 13 participating artists & their work is listed at dwelling.in You can view the Facebook event here. Gallery hours are M-W & F, 9am-5pm; Th, 9am-7pm.
