Mitsu, Sue and their roommate Amy held their first salon last night in their Bronx loft. A good 20-25 of us traveled through this weekend's blizzard to view short films and artworks, chat and drink green tea.
The program included The Unconscious Art of Graffiti Removal, the short film I saw and loved at the Seattle Art Museum last month. Mits has worked with the filmmaker, Matt McCormick.
Some students from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program turned up at the salon--Mitsu's original email was forwarded to an ITP list--and two showed their work in progress. Fun to see stuff happening right now and people with open horizons.
Planned to process film at my darkroom today, but am vanquished by the weekend's subway service changes. On Friday and Saturday, I spent at least 8 hours in the subway, about 5 of them just trying to get home after 11 p.m. As I live in Brooklyn and the darkroom is in Tribeca, that would mean more time underground today...just can't face it.
Monday I must be in Manhattan for an informational interview (trying to leave behind my role as an unemployment statistic). So will go to darkroom tomorrow, and try not to question my dedication because I'm not there today.
