AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Purchase College seeks Assistant Professor of New Media

The New Media Program at Purchase College invites applications for a
tenure-track Assistant Professorship starting in fall 2009. Candidates must
possess an advanced degree (MFA or equivalency) with a proven exhibition or
research record that demonstrates expertise and in-depth involvement in
computing and the arts. Evidence of excellence in teaching at the college
level, or of potential as an effective teacher, is required. Possible
research areas might include (but are not limited to) physical computing,
robotics, interaction/performance, algorithmic arts, live video processing,
animation and gaming, 3D modeling, virtual environments and locative media.

The Kerckhoff Art Gallery is a small and intimate gallery on the
campus of UCLA managed by the UCLA Cultural Affairs Commission. Our
mission is to spark thought and dialogue on social issues within the
community.

We are currently seeking female artists in the LA community with body
image-themed art to be displayed from November 3 to November 9, 2008.
With direct exposure to those at UCLA, this exhibition will allow the
viewers to look critically at the pressure that is placed on girls to
conform to an idealistic body image.

Please send attachments of your personal work to
kerckhoffartgallery@gmail.com along with a short synopsis of yourself
and your work by Monday, October 27. NO LATE SUBMISSIONS ACCEPTED.

I grew up and have lived in the Boston area all my life. I have been taking pictures since I was a child, but didn’t go professional until early 2007. I am a source photographer for Boston Coasters (www.bostoncoasters.com) in Harvard Square, Boston, MA. My pictures are hung on consignment at The Inkwell in Amesbury and The United Front Co. in Revere (both in MA). I currently have have a Halloween show going on until the end of October, 2008. Starting November 1st I will have all now photographs hung. My pictures have appeared in The BostonNow newspaper, New England Sports Magazine, WCAT TV (local television program) and even on a CD cover and publicity photos (for Kyle Davis).

I have no art training, but I wanted a Tarot deck so I drew my own --pencil, colored pencils on index cards, scanned and photoshop smartblurred. I like some of these, others make me say 'yuck' or something similar. But what's gratifying to me despite their crudity is that I persevered and drew the whole deck, the originals of which I use, which took several weeks. Then last yearI began re-'Shopping them, so some look far from the originals now. This one is not to different except for being stretched out of shape..
