My project Cooler was accepted by Visualeyez, so in September I’ll be heading to Edmonton to get some sweet, sweet dirt on the artists (& Latitude staff).
Cooler explores the roles that storytelling and gossip play in building spaces for community. Stationed in the gallery near the ubiquitous site of workplace gossip – the water cooler – Megan will develop a series of timely, potentially embellished stories about her experiences at Visualeyez. Artists, organizers and festivalgoers will be treated like celebrities; their stories, both titillating and mundane, made an object of fascination. She’ll leave reviews to the critics, emphasizing happenings outside/after/in the bushes behind the performance. Cooler quenches public thirst for gossip and makes both audience and artists feel like one of the ‘it’ crowd.
Visit Cooler on the web at artgossip.ca (but not until September).
I’ve been a humungous fan of Brigid Berlin for years….and then I saw this amazing project! [via Extreme Craft]
Two Nice Things
0 Comments Published October 13th, 2008 in Art Gossip from Elsewhere, Wicked Awesome.M:ST has a blog (which weirdly isn’t linked from their very nice new website). Have I ever mentioned how much I love festival/conference blogging?
Everyone is talking about the Cedar Tavern Singers. I went to their website and listened to some of their songs, and was instantly oversome with fluttery fannish devotion.

This weekend Cindy and David and I have to finish our (really late but still acceptable) entry into the World Telekinesis Competition. In the spirit of intensely serious competition, I must state that our triumvirate of highly-advanced throbbing super-brains will kick your team’s ass.
Last week I went to Calgary for research for Calgary Super Bingo [...]
I added a bunch of new links to the side this weekend, having had nothing better to do a need to veg out in front of the ever-friendly computer.
Ok, so generally I’m unimpressed by tattoos (except for yours), but check out this amazing collection of science tattoos.
And also look at this plastic canvas hourglass bling [...]

I used to teach them to new volunteers, because they’re really important and I do take them really seriously. But also I’m totally fascinated by them in [...]
