About Me

Memphis, Tennessee
I'm a Rhodes Art History major from Chicago and I'm eager to get my hands dirty in Memphis' arts activities. I enjoy all areas of art but specialize in the visual arts.

Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art's current exhibition, Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock n' Roll since 1967, was pretty stellar over all. The show explores the dynamic relationship between rock music and visual art. Containing an eclectic body of works dating back to 1967 over all styles and spectrums of visual art, the collection includes a group of peices inspired by The Velvet Underground created by artist Andy Warhol. The collection is large and out of control, with wall installations that canvas floor to cieling and multiple corners at once, psychadelic swirling rooms, rooms filled with giant video screen projections. If you plan to make a stop in Chicago this winter break- put this exhibit on your list of sights to see- for it is quite a sight.
