News update - recruiting

I'm happy to report that there are a number of strong prospects for next year - or at least that's the feeling I got when I went to San Francisco to meet Carol and talk about to artists at National Graduate Portfolio Day.

Close to two dozen schools were there, and we spoke to about that many students about the program. Some had traveled from great distances to meet, and most were carrying strong bodies of work. We looked at painting, sculpture, and video/performance (not a lot of ceramics...wonder why that is?) from potential applicants at a variety of places in their careers. If half these people apply, we could have a very lively group.

Just in case you stumble upon this entry looking for info about graduate programs in ceramics, painting, or sculpture, the University of the Arts has info on its website, which can be found here.

While in San Francisco, we had a chance to blow through the Olafur Eliasson and Joseph Cornell exhibits at SFMOMA. Hopefully, some thoughts about those will appear soon on hypercriticalwriting...but that would require me getting a few minutes to think. Not likely.
