Art Opening Tonight: Millions of Innocent Accidents at the MAEP gallery

this opening is right next door & features work made by MCAD Alums! Brett and I went over during lunch for a sneak peak and the show looks pretty amazing. Make sure to look for a cameo by our own Colin Trechter, walls from the Organ House, and Mickey Mouses’ hand.

THURSDAY AUGUST 28th

7pm-9pm/free

Hardland/Heartland: Millions of Innocent Accidents

@ Minneapolis Institute of Arts
MAEP Galleries
2400 3rd Ave S
Minneapolis

This artist collective has been tearing through the city lately. How can humans make so much work? Their “ongoing saga of grandiose proportions” draws on popular culture, graffiti, and contemporary science fiction, to name a few. Consumer culture gets more bashing with HL/HL’s installations and performances. Since you’ve moseyed over to the MIA, check out coinciding exhibit, Unconventional Wisdom; print works with an emphasis on funny text, storytelling and a range of vintage and contemporary media styles. Through October 26th.

only one more month of summer?! (or the final countdown)

(thanks Brett Smith for the double-dare mixed CD, the final countdown is rocking my office right now!) I looked at the calendar and realized that classes at MCAD start a month from today, August 25th. To be honest I am a little freaked out. It feels like summer just started and now I am being slammed with bucket loads of work. Of course I am totally totally excited too, MCAD just isn’t much fun when no one is around.

So, I complained a little about all the work, but it is the good stuff people like planning Orientation, the Black & White Ball (no the date isn’t set and no I won’t tell you who the surprise guest is yet), the Back to School BBQ & Club fair, getting Yoga on the calendar, organizing an interactive exhibition called Freedom of Assembly, creating a plan to get out the Vote, the list goes on….

Also, I started this blog over the break (with the help of Kelly & Erin). It seemed like a new way to try to connect, to share ideas and events, and to hopefully get more feedback from you all. I know how much everyone loves my all school emails, especially when I send the same one 5 or 6 times, so those won’t totally go away. I have some dreams about changing up the way we communicate and this is one little way I want to give it a try.  Next up on the Megan dream list is an all school calendar, I am in the process of making an ical that you can subscribe too (and don’t worry the beautiful tactile/off-line calendars will be back in the college center come fall) Oh yeah, if you have blogs I want to link to them. So, stay tuned for more.
