MFA Thesis Exhibition

...it has come down to this. Vote for me! Errr, I mean, I would love to see you there. There = CSULB Department of Art, Werby Gallery, Sunday, Nov 16, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM. Carpooling is highly recommended, as parking sometimes fills up during openings. Also, bring your laundry coin purse, because once the free parking lot is filled, there are only metered spaces.

There will be 2-3 other exhibition openings happening that night as well, which look super-promising. One is of my friend Christen Sperry-Garcia's recent work on issues of Globalization and Human Trafficking, and another is a group show curated by CSULB art history/museum studies students entitled "Hysteria." You're bound to like something. : )

GLAMFA 2008 is in the works!

Earlier this week, I went to Christina's house to shoot images for the promotional cards and posters for this year's GLAMFA (Greater Los Angeles MFA). GLAMFA is an annual art exhibition, produced and juried by art graduate students of the Fine Art Roundtable at California State University, Long Beach. The show features and represents students currently in MFA programs throughout SoCal (CSULB excluded--but an open studios event is held in conjunction with the show). We all work hard on the show, and fortunately it proves to pay off, as GLAMFA has become a notable event in LA's art sphere. (Propers go out to McLean, who has been working extra hard answering questions, and compiling & readying submissions for jurying day.) So, pencil us in for Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at the Cal State Long Beach gallery complex! You can also keep your eyes open for updates and previews here on zee blog, and at www.artgrads.com.

Until then, here are some little morsels of GLAMFA goodness--thanks to Ms. C. Shurts for her food stylings, and to thee one Mr. Shurts for his amazing fly-wrangling abilities.

GLAMFA of the Olde English variety. This version will likely not get used, but we loved the Mexicano nod.

mmmm... flan....

...and here is another "typeface", with a detail contributed by little Grace Shurts.
