This has been a good weekend.  Sculpture class is going pretty well, I’m drawing a lot, playing more music, and playing more video games:

Now before there are any assumtions made about the drawing above in relationship to the drawing/painting below (in regards to the artistic process) this is a collaborative image from 1.5 years ago.  Artists: Stephanie B., Nathaniel H., Sean B.

As one of the gallery assistants at the UWM Union Art Gallery I have to organize a show for the atrium space in the union (right in front of the bookstore).  So, in collaboration with Dean Valadez I bring you the Classroom w/o Walls.  This is a totally open to the public collaborative art project based online, but leaking over into the real world.  Every work that someone submits will be displayed in the atrium space.  There will be extra copies of each images so people can actually take down images, alter them (perhaps you draw on it, perhaps you collage it, perhaps make a sculpture out of it and take a photograph.)

I’m not exactly sure the dates of when the artwork will be put up, but sometime in early April until late in the month. Updates are coming with specifics.  Note, anyone anywhere can participate and your work will be shown, it is after all a wiki.  One of the major aspects of this type of collaboration is that it transcends distance and is open to almost anyone (with computer access).

This past week was awesome. About 13 artists from the Just Seeds collectives flew in to work on an installation at the UWM Union Art Gallery. The other gallery assistants and a number of student volunteers worked for 6 days to transform the gallery into a… well, you’ll just have to go check it out and see for yourself.

The opening was incredible. Almost 500 people showed up and there was an energy I haven’t felt at an opening before. Who knew paper air plane fights could last three hours? Many people have said that this is the best show the UAG has had in many years, it certainly is the best I’ve seen since I moved to Milwaukee. I’ll be posting images of the opening on the UAG website later. As a teaser these are some shots from the installation off the Just Seeds blog.
