Dog Days of February

#class capsule wrap up: Yesterday's discussion on Success, led by Letha Wilson and Dan Levenson, drew a decent crowd given the blizzard that coincided with it, and the turn out was alright for James Leonard's Warbonds performance as well. We're still working out the kinks on the whole online interactive thing, with some folks twittering that they hear just fine and others having some trouble (I suspect it's not something we can set that will work perfectly with everyone's individual systems, but...). Today, in the snow, there are two great events I hope you can bundle up to make it over to see Fri, February 26, 2pm – 3pm, Rocio Rodriguez Salceda presents "Receta," a one-hour performance from a symbolic "kitchen" where women from four different generations in Spain will discuss, plot and reveal secrets about how they were getting by during their time. Their voices will be represented by Rocio Rodriguez Salceda alone. Images, music, text and other ingredients from this "kitchen" will accompany the artist on this historic trip. POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER and Stamatina Gregory & Jovana Stokic - Bad Curating, Fri, February 26, 6pm – 7pm, Stamatina Gregory and Jovana Stokic will present “Bad Curating” a presentation and open platform for discussion. More humorous than hypercritical, it takes on the roots, criteria, and typologies of this practice in its various incarnations. STILL HAPPENING!

I'm happily, but somewhat unorganizedly just yet, dog sitting two adorable dachshunds today, and they're a handful, so it's all I can do to get thing organized to get them over to the gallery on time. You can watch them if you like on the gallery-slash-puppy cam.
