Do I Make Bar Art?
What is Bar Art?
If art could talk (and maybe someday it will), Bar Art might say, "You better leave my mother outa this you cocksucker! (beer bottle smashes over bar; best friend runs over and apologizes for Bar Art; Bar Art throws-up and begins to sob; The object of Bar Arts aggression and Bar Art hug each other and continue the conversation with all misunderstandings of the past forgotten; Bar Art and the object of his former aggression appear as brothers in arms as if out of a Vietnam War movie; Other bar patrons who were admiring Bar Arts chiaroscuro effects earlier have now lost all respect for his petty tricks and leave the bar in disgust, denying the bartender of a tip; Bartender senses things have gone awry and attempts to kick out Bar Art and the former object of his aggression; Bar Art and the former object of his aggression impulsively assume the role of soldiers in a strange enemy land hemmed in by enemy forces and begin fighting their way out of the bar; Bar Art is hit in the head by a flying stool while the object of his former aggression is mercilessly beaten near the entrance by a bouncer itching for an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to disable slow, intoxicated people; Bar Art wakes up the next morning vowing to be gallery art for now on; Bar Art changes his tune by about 6p.m. that day and by 9p.m. is smashing a beer bottle over the bar calling the object of his aggression a cocksucker....)"

I Want to Hear About Your Crits!
Because of the brevity of the winter crit, I didn't get a chance to speak to many of you (they're not even over and I know I'm not going to get the chance, so I'm posting now...), but I really want to know how your crits and thesis reviews went. Please post here!

Arts Journal Changes
It looks like changes are afoot over at ArtsJournal.com, one of my perennial favorite news sources for arts-related gab and info. I encourage everyone to bookmark the site and look at it daily, but I'm especially keen to see that they are going to be doing some topic-driven group blogging in the weeks ahead, in which invited guests will comment on aspects of a specific subject (it begins with dance).
I like this idea and I think it would be great if you adapted for this blog, appointing a certain week to address a certain topic of interest to all MFA students. I'm sure the faculty would be willing to participate if we were invited. Give it some thought.
