Kate Cuffari

This Tuesday's lecture was my favorite one so far. Kate Cuffari, an artist in the conservation room at the PMA talked to us about things I have never thought about. Like how certain materials we use all the time don't last forever. I always thought that everything I have made would last forever, but nothing lasts forever. She talked about about what causes art to be obsolete, like willful destruction, performance destruction, and unintended deterioration of materials, and environment. Something else she brought up that I never thought of is digital storage, I honestly had the notion in my mind that CD's and memory cards would store my stuff forever, I can't imagine them going out of date... but then again, I didn't think that about my walkman either.

... oh and this week in 3D we made site specific sculptures in the woods, (very Andy Goldsworthy) and I was so proud of the piece my group and I made, hopefully I can get a picture up here. I was soaked passed my knees and absolutely freezing but I still had a good time.
