Hey internet,
You know what I like? I like when people talk to the internet like the internet is an actual person. I also like when we talk about art. Let’s talk.
I like art, but sometimes I am not too sure about how to talk about it. I feel like you have to know about a lot of things to know about art. It is kind of exhausting. But maybe you need to art for a long time before you start to really get it, I dunno.
Like one time I went to the art gallery with Terry and we looked at stuff and made inappropriate jokes about the peeing dog statue and there was a weird plane full of bats. It was weird. I like weird. Oh and that time was also when they had that Andrea Zittel stuff and she is amazing.
I am not very good at B.S.-ing a thing. I do not want to be rude to art but sometimes I hear artists talk about their work and I am like “That doesn’t even make sense.” Does it not make sense because I don’t get it? Maybe.
One of my instructors sometimes talks to me about how I have a different idea of art than other people and I think suggests that I am somewhere between art and design and I am not even sure what the difference is sometimes. At least I think that is what she is saying. I get the feeling she either wants me to figure it out myself or she thinks I do already know what she is talking about. I pretty much do not.
Does this make sense? I feel like I am rambling but there are real thoughts in there. I wish I could go back in time and tell my high school councilor to suck it when he tells 18 year old me that I should not go to art school. By the way, if I’d gone to art school then instead of now I probably would have spent less money on school and I would know more about art. It is win/win.
I am weaving a QR code. It is a million times harder than you’d think. Double weave Mexican pick up is so rude, especially when you are having to keep track of pixels. You can see I messed up three times before I figured it out.
I eventually got into the weaving zone and made some progress, but it kinda sucks because I figured out how to pack it down really tight about half way through so the bottom is a bit stretched out. I may try washing it to see if it’ll shrink a bit because I am worried it won’t read.
Oh by the way we got a different studio space at Main and 2nd. It is on the smaller side, but has a lot of potential I think. Eventually we’ll get all our crap in and have an opening or something maybe? Bring wine.
Oh also I have been learning about Judaism from this catalog that Val gave me. It is kind of ridiculous. If I was religious I am pretty sure I’d be a Jew, it seems to be in my bones. But I believe in stars and explosions.
Speaking of stars, April 9 is Yuri Night at the Space Centre. Who’s coming?
I ALMOST FORGOT:
This is art.
