Today we had a guest speaker: Barbara Schreiber. Her work was EXTREMELY interesting as well as her personality- she reminded me of my Mary Kay lady who i used to work for-open minded, fun, and hilarious. Her work was funny- which you seldomly see in artists- most are sad and depressing. She described her current work as "irritable little paintings about the obsurdity of daily life. Loved her paperdoll like Happy Penis (ithink) and Miss Titty. It reminded me of something my girlfriends would get me at a bachlorette party or something. One thing she told me was that galleries take 50%! I had no idea- thats ridiculous I mean I could understand it was like an extremely detailed installation that took alot of work to put up- but for a painting - all they did was hang it- its just ridiculous- it just turns me off about being an artist.
