Saturday was a beautiful sun filed day. When my colleague Gail Simpson called to ask advice on taking a photograph of Vanishing Point, Actual Size Artworks piece in the 2010 Wisconsin Triennial at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, I jumped at the change to go outside and stroll along State Street. Vanishing Point stands 20 feet high and is on display inside the corner window area of the museum. Make sure to see the exhibition. More photographs of Vanishing Point can be seen by visiting the Actual Size Artwork photos at my site, or by going to Gail Simpson and Aris Georgiades’s Actual Size Artworks site.

Phil Kovacevich from Seattle, Washington designed the catalog.
Poet, writer and filmmaker Jimmy Santiago Baca met with students and staff at the Multicultural Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison recently. The focus of the meeting was to discuss how to build unity and increase awareness for Latino students. It was a pleasure to see such a well know writer and activist meet with students.
