Let me know what you guys think.

José A Ortiz Pagan "In Process"

Hi to everyone, so finally here is my video (at least part of it). This is a project I discussed with Gerard about doing a project that goes from some kind of digital portfolio to a documentation of different processes I'm working on. This is the first step to what is going to be a more complicated video. Hope you like it and critics are welcome.

Also wanted to thank you all again for this year, I'm missing Philly and you guys, hope to see you all soon, José.

Artists writing

Glass artist Judith Schaechter has never been afraid to speak her mind. Thank heaven. A few days ago, she posted her notes from a lecture on beauty on her blog, and i thought I'd share it with you. Not because it's the most brilliant thing ever, but because it shows how she's making sense of one of the large issues in the art world, and also putting to use the work she does preparing for a talk or presentation through another media channel. Enjoy.

We're at 9 N. 9th Street (enter on 9th between Arch and Filbert) and looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, May 6, at 5:30pm. Just come in the front door, take the elevator to the 2nd floor, walk past the gym and around to the left - ours is apartment 203.

As far as parking - our building has a pretty vigilant towing company looking after its lot, so I'd avoid it. Best to look for a metered space on Filbert between 8th and 9th.

Look forward to seeing you! ~ gerard

Congratulations to everyone!!!!!

Now we know now it's done. Finally Louis Pierre and Myungwon Kim showed to everyone the result of two years of hard work and researching. Thankfully the aftermath of these two developments were satisfactory.

First Louis Pierre (who by now is on his way to Montreal), show us something that at the beginning made us ask us what was going on. But at last the surprise factor (As always accompanied Louis trough his research and performances), made and acted as one of the main characters for the development of a great collective performance aiming by that to a great balance between the gallery element and the performing aspect of this work "100 heads". This finally and personally I think put the work in great context. Also good to mention is the projection outside of the gallery, which established a great dialogue for the people to understand way more the complete aspect of this work, once again congratulations Louis Pierre.

In other hand we got Mrs. Myungwon Kim, and her great show as part of the MFA show this time in the Tyler Gallery. Great work and personally I think and agree with other people that was the best show in the gallery, and also the more serious proposal. Very good goals acknowledge by this pieces, that develop a great sense of physicality trough an aesthetic language, not only practice but also even in the appropriate size and installation, so once again to you also congratulations.

Finally I will like to thank you all, Louis, Myungwon, Leslie, Gerard and other faculty that reads on this blog thank you, I feel I had more true friends on all of you and I'm personally very glad to shared all this year with you guys, I know opportunities like this and people like you are hard to fins these days. I'm hoping to keep in touch with all of you for long time, and also to find next years peers like you (know is going to be hard), blessings to all of you see you next week.
