On the March 12 edition of NPR's Fresh Air, novelist Jonathan Letham talked about a project on his website called "Promiscuous Materials". The premise is that he's offering up various stories of his for other people to turn into films or plays, and song lyrics for other people to set to music--without his receiving his usual royalty for his intellectual property. In the Fresh Air interview, he cites Hyde's book as the inspiration for this experiment.
i was just about to share two other Gift-related projects, but I think I'll hold off to see if anyone brings them up in class this week or next... If not, I'll try my damnedest to remember to post them here.

This Sunday: "Artilogue" on artists & new media @ the Kenan
Blatant self-promotion about blatant self-promotion:
I am appearing as part of a free panel discussion (er, "artilogue") at the Kenan Center in Lockport this Sunday (March 11) from 1:30-3:30 p.m. The afternoon will be devoted to ways that visual artists & others can use the web and other new media to promote their work. In other words, it's totally relevant not only to the class, but to your own careers as well.
Details are here, and here are directions to the center (roughly half an hour from the Amherst Campus).
While you're there, you can check out EXTRAORDINARY FORMS: BINATIONAL CLAY, guest curated by our own Jerry Mead!

Facts & Figures
Hi all,
This is to announce the first of two exhibits I will be mounting this spring. Facts & Figures is inclusive of much of the work I produced in the past year and a half as a grad sudent, as well as a few new works. It's taking place at redFish Studios in East Aurora and will run concurrently to their own resident artists show called Stimmung.
Directions to the gallery here, and the studio website is here.
The opening is during spring break, but hopefully some of you will be around and feel like trekking to the south towns to offer your support. :) I'd love to see you there!
Opening reception: Friday, March 16th, 2007
7-10pm

The second show, which I consider my thesis exhibit (and more of a big deal!), will take place the last two weeks of April at the College Street Gallery on Allen St. downtown, right next to Nietzsche's and across the way from Allen St. Hardware and the Old Pink (yeah!). I think that the reception will be on the evening of the 2oth, but I will keep you posted. :) I'll be ready to celebrate for sure!
