On February 20th the Juror for the 10th Janet Turner National Print Competition was on Campus to select the works that are to be awarded. The Juror was Anne Collins Goodyear, who co-curates at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
There were also several of the Artists on the campus that day as well. Katherine Venturelli, Yangbin Park, Jenny Robinson, and possibly more that I did not get the chance to meet. It was a pleasure to meet and talk to the artists, and to be able to share my artwork with them.
Later during my Advanced Printmaking class we had a small critique that Anne Collins Goodyear led, and the other guest artists could also participate in. It was very useful to have guest from outside of out department at CSU Chico to share the work with, and receive information from them. I shared a recently completed book with them called Chac, Chahk, Chaac It is a pronto plate Lithograph, printed and then assembled into a small book.
At 5:30 in PAC 134 Anne Collins Goodyear gave a Juror’s Lecture. Richard Tuttle, Roger Shimamura, and Marcel DuChamp were all mentioned in the talk, as well as a number of the artists in the show. Anne Collins Goodyear is putting together a book of recent essays on Marcel Duchamp with James McManus titled “aka Marcel Duchamp: Medications on the Identities of an Artist” That is due out later this year. Richard Tuttle’s work is going to be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, that Anne Collins Goodyear is co-curating.
Right after the lecture I had a class to go to so I missed out on the receptions at both galleries.
