The New School!

Lucy put together this announcement for our workshops and opening reception on Monday at The New School in New York City. I will be taking the bus down today which is about a 4 hour ride. Christiane will fly up from Atlanta today as well. She went to Yasnaya Polyana with us last August. Lucy will join us on Sunday, and Trish and Lynn will arrive on Monday, in time for the workshops and party.

I still can't believe that we finished the project! But it is still alive and well... we have a lot of mileage yet to go. A collage artist in Berlin told me about a collage magazine from Montreal that has both a print and online version. I will contact them next week. And Lucy also put me in touch with the communications director at Dana Farber Cancer Institute about doing a story about me (the "cancer" angle) which might also include a show and workshops (that's the more fun part). And of course the shows in Russia in June.

I also just took on a new project as well. For the last year, I have been thinking about curating a show called "Creative Couples" which would include the artwork of both partners. Mark and I went to a gallery meeting on Wednesday, and there is an opening in the schedule for April, so I am moving ahead with that idea. So far I have 4 couples who want to participate. I would like 10-15 couples, and will do a call for artists and hopefully include a lot of new/unknown people. I am very interested in what is the experience of creative couples -- how does it work, and ways it might not/does not work. So once I get back from New York, I will shift into that project.

So much to do, how much time?
