This blog is just one of those that has nothing to do with photography what so ever, but I’m bored and just feel like I should write.
I’m happy to read today in the New York Times’ Art Section today that an old friend of mine’s new band finally made some big press, and no I’m not saying that Rolling Stones, AP Magazine and Spin aren’t big…but I’m talking about a smart publication (Sorry Dawn Burns if you read this…no offense to you, just get better writers). I was very happy to see that since I’ve known Mr. Pope for a while now, first meeting him back in the day when he was still a local boy in a small band called The Get Up Kids.
In other news…I’m still looking forward to my date tomorrow, should be a fun one, but I was supposed to go on another one tonight, and the girl asked me to go out, but now, she is not responding after I told her I could after 8:30 this evening (and it is about 6pm now) so yeah…I guess that is a no go. OH WELL…
Okay, I lied, I am going to talk a little about photography here, since that is my love, well that and art (mixed with other things like women, booze and a few others and no I’m not a drunk…I drink maybe like twice a month). I’m going to talk about the Vancouver Biennale. I have been in talks with them recently and I was asked to submit my photography work for their international show. I got excited, but when I asked on twitter what they accepted I got a response of:
“Van_Biennale
@fastboyent we’re a 2 year sculpture, new media, performance exhibition. if that works send an email to XXXXXXXX@vancouverbiennale.com”
so I sent a message back asking what they meant by “New Media” since it can cover everything from Photography to Digital Film to Graphic Design, and I got no response back (going back to previous blogs about art galleries not getting back to people…perfect example right there and coming up) so I went through and wrote to the email address that was given to me and asked them if they did accept photography or not…and here is the email that I got back from them.
“Hi Chris,
We are interested in the photography and digital filming of our sculptures.
Please feel free to submit any of your work which focuses on the Biennale
and Public Art and interaction.
Many thanks,
Gillian”
So I copied and pasted the twitter to them asking Gillian if they didn’t then actually take “New Media” for the exhibition and wouldn’t you know, that email was sent at 1:55 pm and it is now 6:03 pm and I’ve yet to receive a response about my last email. Why am I just so not surprised by this…?
Anyways…I’ve typed out about 500 words here, and I think that dinner might be ready soon so I’m going to shut up, go get that done and then go out for coffee maybe with the girl who asked me out, maybe with out her, but regardless, I’m getting coffee tonight.
