Presenting at Hillside Art Salon tonight

6pm. at the University of Massachusetts chancellor Robert C. Holub and Sabine Holub's house.  

Hosted by Sabine Holub.  

Check out the Salon's website to see a couple of pieces from the collection I will be showing tonight, as well as those of other presenters.  20 slides/20 seconds each!  Sounds like a brutal format, a kind of speed dating with art, but I think I like it: it prevents preciousness from slipping into the presentation.  The time constraint has it's price too.. Didn't Mark Twain once complain about the 5 minutes he was given once to deliver a speech, saying that he'd need two weeks to prepare for it, while he could give a 2-hour lecture today! :)  

I am really excited about this event...., and I better practice my "5 minutes" now!
