Day 5 by Kat Moore

-
Today was definitely a studio day.
 
Dot spoke to the director about what was needed to make the space work for the exhibition. The space is roughly a good size for a solo show with a giant window at the front of the room giving good natural light. It was great experience for me to see the process of an artist preparing for a solo show. The curator and Dot discussed what was necessary for the show and the ideal outcome of display. I've leaned that a lot of thought goes into the process of having a solo show, and the artist holds a lot of freedom to express themselves in one room. This excites me because throughout the process I could only imagine myself in the same situation, and one day being able to have a solo show somewhere. After helping Dot with her test piece (previous days) she decided to start working on the actual piece for her upcoming solo show at Allen's Lane Art Center. This piece is a completely different piece with metal wire and cement. First, I started by cutting the wire piece in to a rectangular flat. Then we laid down paper to protect the floor. After, I laid down the wire I cut to pour cement onto one end of it. Mixing the cement was difficult because of the thickness and the amount of cement I had to mix without a machine mixer, after the mix I poured the cement onto the wire. The exhibition will be up and ready in mid September and I can't wait to see the finished show.

Slam Magazine Cover Shoot

So for my first shoot, I was lucky enough to help assist on set for the SLAM Magazine cover with Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons.

I was able to learn more about strobes and working with big name clients. I even got a SLAM magazine t-shirt!

Week 3 Art Restoration with Kat and Megan

-
Week 3 The UArts alumnus I’m working for is Megan Becker, who pursued the same internship program I’m part of when she was an Illustration student at the university. She has been the one handing me an airbrush and letting me (tentatively) try my hand at stain remediation for water damaged pieces. Megan and I are a good alum-student match because of our shared interest in illustration, and quieter introverted nature. Although Megan’s and my art is very different, we share an understanding for visual meaning and narrative.  The weeks at ART are fairly reliable work-load wise, but on Wednesdays we get to do something a little different. Megan teaches art classes for young students directly after work on Wednesday, so she takes me with her to where her classes are. Of course, I can’t roam around aimlessly while she works, so I take her car to Dunkin Donuts and sit outside, sipping a black coffee and reading The Sandman, volume 5. I enjoy these little quiet moments where I final

Yo!!!!!! My name is Malik Murray, I am a rising junior photography major. I am more than excited to be working under Uarts Alumni Lou Caltabniano and John Pushnick. I started actually a little before the school year ended. So far it has been fun and a great learning experience. I'll be getting into detail on some of the shoots I have worked on so far with the guys in later post but so far I have traveled to NJ, Baltimore, and of course Philly for some really dope stuff. Hope everyone has a great summer and enjoy their time gaining experience in a variety of art forms!!
