The Art Assignment

August 28, 2015

An assignment that I wrote "Lost Childhood Object" is featured in an episode of The Art Assignment on PBS Digital. I hope that you will watch and take part!

From The Art Assignment's website: "This week we visit Lenka Clayton, another Pittsburgh based artist whose work finds meaning in ordinary, everyday objects. For her assignment, she asks you to partner with someone and recreate a lost childhood object, using their memory of the object and the materials you have around you. Here are your instructions:

1. Ask someone to describe an object they made or cherished as a child. Make a mental image of that object
2. Create the object
3. Give the object back to the person (Ideally, you'd do this project in tandem)
4. Document and upload using #theartassignment
5. Fame and glory (your work might be in a future episode)"

Happy birthday to my beloved Early! Seven today xxxx
This is as far as I got with my to do list before I got distracted. True story.
If Fischli and Weiss had been eight instead of thirty-nine and forty-five “How to Work Better” might have looked like this. #fischliweiss
An interview between me and the lovely @jtreiman is in this month’s Sculpture Magazine. @sculpture_magazine @cclarkgallery
