Jackson Pollock and Marcel Duchamp featured on Ovation TV

If I remember correctly, last semester Pollock and Duchamp came up a few times on various listservs as people who are hacks in the art world. So, in the spirit of investigation, it might be cool to check out their various biographies that are going to be featured on the Ovation TV channel this month. I personally feel that their contributions to the art world have been immense and profound.

"The Secret of Marcel Duchamp" will be featured tomorrow at 8 and 11 on the Ovation channel.


Jackson Pollock's biography will be featured on October 22, 3:30 pm and 6:30 pm, and October 23, 3:30 am (ok, so its not primetime!)

Towson Innovations Lab in Second Life

Tonight I got my first glimpse behind the scenes at the soon-to-be-public Towson Innovations Lab island in Second Life. Here is a picture. After checking out our island, I looked up our location on the map and we are interestingly next to University of Delaware. A group of us went and Caitlin Foxtrot found a great underwater aquarium [?]...here are some photos. And I relocated my SL office hours to the beach at the University of Delaware [until I can create a nice beach-side location with waves on our island]. We all went surfing which was actually really fun! Join us Monday evenings in SL...except next Monday I cannot make it.....See you in-world on Monday, October 27th.

conversations

So here's a question/topic for all of you out there...

Do you consider yourself a Jeweler? a Maker? a Designer? an Artist? a Craftsperson?
What do you think the differences are between those? Do you feel like you fit into multiple categories or not fit in to any of those? How would you introduce yourself?

Comment away! Or find me and talk in person too.....

Watch This.

This is an audio podcast from Etsy on Bruce Metcalf.
I think you will all enjoy this.
