My book is going to appear in a show in Chicago on December 11. I hope to make the opening reception that night from 5 to 7. If you don’t make it out that night, I believe the show is up until March, so you can go see it at your leisure.

I’m also in the process of planning a show at Plenum Space gallery in Kansas City for first Friday in April.  Journalism school has consumed virtually every waking moment of my free time this fall, and I’m excited to get back to thinking about art over break.  I might even get a chance to do some drawing if I’m lucky. 

Next semester will probably just as if not more brutal, but starting next summer I might get back into producing new work again.  I miss being able to make my work, but in the long run I hope that what I’m learning in journalism will benefit my artwork and the art world in general.  Artists have a tendency to be lousy at promotions, and I’m hoping to change that.

I’m trying to find a way of reconciling my previous work with my work in journalism right now, and currently my idea for a thesis project is to construct a website specifically dedicated as a news and information resource on printmaking.  Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome, just send an email.

Also, I can be found on Twitter now under the name @mattkuhlman.  Twitter seems silly to me, but also the direction that personal communications are heading.  Resistance is futile, not to mention counter-productive.  Feel free to follow me, I try to keep my tweets somewhat interesting.  No updates about what kind of sandwich I had for lunch. 

Have a happy beginning to 2010!  Has it already been 10 years?  Geez…
