A New Internship

It Is Awesome. This is the Museum of Contemporary Art. As an art enjoyer, the MCA is my favorite. I was thrilled to have my intership application accepted. And this week I had my first day. I got a tour of the whole building, including the backstage elements, like the loading dock where there are big crates of art! I can wander around the galleries on my breaks, I really enjoyed the Calder and Calder influenced artists, hence this cool paint job on the front steps.



All this I did with the other intern, who just got her BA, but she has TONS of great experience for this internship. She worked at her college library cataloging zines! Crazy jealous! So we both started classifying Artists' Books. Which range from the traditional children's book, to the conceptual, from companions pieces for exhibitions, to standalone works. My fav was a promotional piece, a seed for a tree, which should bloom in ten years, which is how long until the opening of the artist's exhibition! Crazy!



Stay tuned for more cool tid-bits.
