have a work of mine in an art show.

my new job (of 3 months) is art-handling. i see amazing and terrible art day to day. i’ve been to dozens of shows, and wrapped some famous and not so famous pieces. some that may never again see the light of day. i don’t care if i ever see another andy warhol.

although I have a keener interest in making beautiful things in new mediums, I have less and less interest in concerning myself with whether or not it is art, as i now believe it’s the most human thing to make things and to want to make things beautiful and to make beautiful things. art is full of wisdom and folly and noise.

i’m closer to the art world now, so i’m closer to this goal. it may happen incidentally, but i’m not sure i’ll find it worth doing.

my penpal of eight years has been in several art shows, mostly here in gainesville, fl. it looks like fun. i’d like to do it someday even if it’s really diy low-key underground or dirty. i don’t want a whole show, just one or a few pictures.

i like the idea of somebody putting up something i’ve done for no other reason than its own merit. somebody that i’m not even friends with, which might not be quite this.

another goal should be to not use words like ‘someday’. until i am mature enough to know what i mean by them, they are made of poison.
