My senior thesis exhibition is on view now in Brown University's List Art Center, on the first floor. The show will be up through Thursday, May 3rd, and there will be a closing reception that night. Stop by to check out my work from this past year.

Jay Stuckey, an LA-based artist and Brown University graduate, returned to campus this week as a visiting critic for the honors thesis presentations. Jay was an amazing critic with some really spot-on insights and criticism. He also had some key tips for all of us emerging artists. A few chief points: 1. Artist, know thyself, 2. Community is everything, 3. Don't piss people off.

I went to hear Robert Blackson, Director of Exhibitions and Public Programs at the Tyler School of Art, speak this week at the RISD museum. The talk was part of the Brown/RISD 2012 Curatorial Lecture Series. Robert had some interesting things to say about curator-artist collaborations (including his own work with the Turner-prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller), as well as the relationship between curatorial work and community programming.
The programs that he organizes at the Temple Gallery also seem dynamic and engaging, something to check out if you're in the Philadelphia area.
