A few things

During this past week, I attended several different artist events and would like to talk about each one for a little bit.

First: Last Friday, I went to Shift Space to watch the Big Animal. I actually found this Polish movie quite entertaining and humorous. The humor was definitely different from American humor. It was more subtle, rather than something along the lines of South Park. I look forward to going to these more often.

Next: I went to Mike Miller's Twisted Rhythm talk. I found it interesting about where he said he got his inspiration from. He said that he saw waves everywhere, and wanted to somehow put that into his work. He said that sometimes he fears that his work is so simple, that sometimes he doesn't think he can consider it art. He also talked about how his art doesn't follow the "trends" that a lot of art does. Miller said that his art tries to go beyond that, into a subconscious level.

Finally: I attended Diane Lincoln's talk at the Ulrich Museum. I thought it was interesting to see someone so involved with different churches. Coming from a large Catholic background, I found the familiar images not only comforting, but also very beautiful.
