Hey dudes,

Does anyone have luster or glossy roll paper 24″ or wider?  I need to make two or three prints and don’t want to buy an entire roll.  I will pay you for however many feet I use.  Please leave a comment if you can assist me.  Thanks!

Starting this Friday, our inkjet printers can only be used if students have reserved time using our new “sign-up sheet policy”. Early Friday morning, I will print and post the time logs near the appropriate printer. The memo will include specific instructions on how the policy works.  I will also be sending students who have not paid their $75 ink fee directly to Anetra Williams to do so…workstudy are exempt from the fee.

Howdy,

We will be hanging our thesis exhibitions at blue tower on friday the 9th starting at 12:30.  Everyone who is showing, please be on time and plan on staying the whole day (Bring screwdrivers, hammers, drills etc. I have a ton of screws).  Other volunteers are obviously welcome and will be compensated with a hearty slap on the back and my undying affection.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Yeah… I took shots at Lee’s opening, Ka-Chunk, on Saturday. I’m still working on the site but I get the few pictures I did take uploaded for him. Here’s the link:

Who Is Carla? Event Photography

Carla

In addition to my normal photo-commentary-blog reading, I’ve been doing research for my thesis, which many of you know is about my wife Stacy (we got married four years ago at the end of this month, btw). In the past couple of months, I’ve come across several photographers doing some thematically similar work, such as Kate Hutchinson, who has been photographing her husband-to-be in a series with the best title ever, “Why Am I Marrying Him?“.

I then happened across the work of Jason Landry, an MFA candidate in photography in Boston, who is shooting his wife, Anne, for a series called “Close to Home“.

But tonight was the kicker. I was checking up with Museum School student Shane Lavalette’s blog /J (which you should all be reading) when I found his post about the work of Eric Weeks. Weeks has been photographing his wife Stacy, whom he married four years ago in a series titled “World Was in the Face of the Beloved“.

I swear, this is just getting ridiculous. Or maybe I’m just onto something.

Tonight, Friday May 2:  Mason Murer, Roberto Santo, 7-10pm

Saturday May 3: Ka-Chunk, see below post for details from Lee!

My show that I curated with The Opal Gallery is this Saturday, May 3rd from 6 - 9 pm. Chowoon, Travis, and I are all in the show so please come and support us.

Here are some good calls for entry I came across on NYFA and SPE (some of the deadlines are pretty soon).

I recently spoke with Dayna over at Gallery Stokes. She is currently accepting submissions for shows, and wanted me to pass this information along. For those students wanting to have a thesis show there, see the bottom for her personal message.

Twice a year Gallery Stokes will be taking proposals for exhibitions from emerging artists and curators. This will be for the exhibition periods of August/September and January/February. In both cases the exhibition period begins on the 4th Friday of the first month and ends on the 3rd Saturday of the second month. Each exhibition period can accommodate either one exhibition or two shorter ones. If a proposal is accepted, there will be a facilities fee charged to the artist/curator in the amount of $2000 for one exhibition period (or $1000 each, if the exhibition period is divided between two shorter exhibitions). Gallery Stokes will take no commission of sales during these exhibits.

The artist/curator will be responsible for installing the show (with the assistance of Gallery Stokes’ director), deinstallation, including repair of the gallery walls, and show expenses: reception, signage and postcards, the design of which is subject to the approval of Gallery Stokes.

During these exhibitions Gallery Stokes will be open during its regular business hours of Friday noon-6, and Saturday 1-5. Access to the gallery will also be available by appointment.

Accepted proposals and subsequent exhibitions will be promoted as are other Gallery Stokes exhibitions. The exhibitions will be promoted and archived on the gallery website, press releases will be sent by the gallery, the gallery logo used on invitations, and the gallery will send evites to the Gallery Stokes mailing list.

Gallery Stokes takes part in the Castleberry Hill 4th Friday Art Stroll every month. The opening receptions of these exhibitions will take place on the 4th Friday of the first month of the exhibition period. In the case of one exhibition period containing two exhibitions, the first exhibition will open on the 4th Friday, and the second will have a reception on the evening of the artist/curator’s choosing.

If a proposal is accepted, the facilities fee will be charged two months in advance of the exhibition period. If an artist/curator fails to follow through with the exhibition, or if the artwork is significantly different from the accepted proposal, there will be no refunds.

And from Dayna: “Brett has the info about SCAD paying the fee - basically, SCAD will pay unless the student freaks out and doesn’t do the show, in that case the student has to pick up the tab.” Jump on this opportunity if you’re interested.
