For those of you familiar with goodreads.com, well, I’m a member of the site. I haven’t really utilized it to capture all the reading I’ve been doing. I figured, it’s better late than never. My bookshelf is quite the hodge podge but I wanted to give the site a go.
How is this art related? You ask…
Well, currently, a couple of the books I’m reading are about, you guessed it, Art. Conceptual Art by Tony Godfrey (just to brush up on my contemporary art history) and Strapless by Deborah Davis (fun read!). I know, short but sweet post but I want to get out there and enjoy my weekend.
Side note: Currently going through some revisions for my La Postra Nostra piece. It’s really tough summing up a performance art show in 400 words!! I’ll be doing a longer piece but, in the interim, I’m in revising mode… 🙂
