William Eggleston

Have you heard that a $15 million museum devoted to William Eggleston is slated to open in Memphis in 2013? My understanding is that the deal isn't finalized, but keep your fingers crossed. This would be HUGE for Memphis! Most of it would be devoted to the artist, and it would house his extensive archives, but the museum would also exhibit contemporary work by other artists. Exciting!

If you're not familiar with Eggleston, he pretty much put color photography on the fine art map. He is from Memphis and currently works and resides here.

Brooks Introduces: Michael Darough

A friend of mine, Michael, has a solo show at the Brooks Museum that runs through January 11, 2011. He gave a talk last week and I checked it out - it's really great! You should go see it over the holidays.

I'm back!

School is out, and I have officially resurfaced! Here's a little of what I've been up to.

Chicago

I recently visited my awesome BFF, Tony, in Chicago and we had a little party at Dan's chic pad in Chicago. $3/box appetizers + 12 bottles of wine = hijinks.
