Chance Show p1

Last friday as class we started currating the Chance show. I will say it was pretty interesting process, but it could have went a little bit smoother. The room my group was given was the last room in the back left. This room isn't the biggest of rooms and has a set of windows on one of the walls. The theme we decided on had to deal with work that had repetition, color, and was linear. For the most part we got all the pieces we wanted and were able to figure out where everything was going to go by the end of the day.

Yuki Matsueda

I was stumbling again and found these real awesome pieces by Yuki Matsueda.

Occupy Wall Street

I decided to take a trip to "Occupy Wall Street" just for the hell of it. I really had no interest at first, but I thought it would be a good place to grab some photos. After walking around the city for about an hour we finally found the protest. All I can really say is that it was interesting. Here are some photos from that day.

Alec Soth

Pretty much Alec Soth is awesome. I was creeping around the internet, clicking on random links, and pasting names into google when I was bored. Somehow stumbled into his portfolio. His work is said to have a cinematic feel with a little bit of folklore tied in. Liking the work of Diane Arbus you can see how she was inspiration for his work. He has a lot of portraits, but he also like landscapes. His work tends to focus on the awkward modern america which is something I find very interesting.
