Friday, 12 October 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I dropped in at Homewood Studios <\/a>in Minneapolis for the opening night of their “Under the Net” exhibit.<\/p>\n

I’ve always been confused about the differences between a regular opening and an “official” or “grand” opening, and today is no different; the exhibit actually opened back on Wednesday, \"\"<\/a>the tenth, but today it was all official and whatnot.<\/p>\n

At any rate, my short story “Bad Air”<\/a> is on display at the exhibit. I never would have thought that a short story could be on display in an art gallery, but here it is. It’s the only short story on display, but there are about half a dozen poems, too, so it’s not the only written piece.<\/p>\n

The majority of the pieces are paintings, sculptures, photographies, and stuff that I’ll just call decoupage, because I can’t think of a better name.<\/p>\n

I had a good time. There was dinner, drinks, and some great socializing with artsy-types. Many of them are part of the Hamline community, because this event was co-sponoserd by my university. All the pieces (including) mine were on sale, with the proceeds going to benefit anti-malaria efforts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Above: Here’s my short story, hogging a whopping three frames. Notice the netting strung up – very fitting. I took this photo at such an oblique, badly lit angle because others were standing in front of my work, and I think I might have been violating all sorts of legal and ethical laws by snapping a photo of art hanging up in a gallery. Oh, and my apologies to the artist who’s work appears on the left side of this photo. <\/em><\/p>\n

This coming Tuesday (the 16th) there will be a reading. I’m reading my short story and others will be reading their poems. Come and join me, if you’d like. Details are here.<\/a><\/p>\n
