My break is almost over and I'm 25 today. Over the week I went to a great lecture by Vik Muniz at the 92nd street Y. He spoke and gave a slideshow of his work for about an hour and a half. Vik's ideas are so smart and simple and he backs them up with great speaking and writing.
Also, I got to see the Achive Fever show at the ICP which is really great but daunting. I think I'll be going back to see it again as I couldn't really absorb everything in one visit.
I haven't gone to see the Whitney Biennial or Color Chart yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing them soon. Has anyone else seen them? What are your thoughts? I'm still re-drafting my proposal statement for this blog, and I will have the revised one up soon. Thanks for the feedback on the original. - Eric

the Biennial was cool! but photography was definitely not its strong point. i was really excited to see Melanie Schiff's work there, but it didn't really stand out in that context, in my opinion anyway.
The show was pretty overwhelming for me, I have to go back and see it for a second time. There was just such a huge amount of work, and every peice really demands a lot of its viewers (this is a good thing) but at shows like this I feel like I can only give and take in so much.
