Another month gone and no blog!?!?! Yikes! I've been slacking, lol. It's just been such an epically busy time, but in a completely good way. My job is wonderful, for years I never thought that I'd be able to say that. But ever since graduating and getting a job at the museum I have been extremely, happily busy and wonderful.
This weekend was a bit bitter sweet as the Andy Magee exhibition finally ended.
I have absolutely loved being a part of this exhibition. It was the very first one that I had a rather big part in promoting and presenting (your first one is always memorable, right?). lol But on top of that, I have really come to enjoy the artist's works and developed a friendship with the artist. Andy came into town last night and we had a big cookout/drinkout to commemorate the exhibition and it was so great spending a bit of time relaying how the exhibition went and talking about what was next for him and his current art projects. It was a fantastic end to a really enjoyable 8 months.
We also had Larry Nowlan in town yesterday to present a lecture about his sculpture of Coach Bill Bergan.
Larry was an absolute blast to hang out with too. He brought his good friend Henry Duffy to town and I've never heard so many great stories. I think people from Philadelphia just have some sort of innate ability as storytellers. Larry was able to make the announcement that he was just commissioned by the city of Philadelphia to sculpt a statue of Joe Frazier and his trip to Ames was quite a wonderful celebration of his works for us and announcement for his newest work. I was surrounded all weekend by incredibly talented, wonderful people and I could not be happier.
There are few things on the horizon that I am a little bit anxious about, but I'm not going to rain on my own parade. For now I am going to bask in the memory of this incredible weekend. I'll try not to wait another month to update my status. I hope that everyone in SG land is doing fantastic and I wish you all the very best.
