You are not going to believe this. Read this post first (Murphy’s law in full effect) if you haven’t already read it.

Now. What are our chances? Zilch you’re thinking? Well, all I can say is that when technology fails, ideas are what matter. We were accepted to the program.

Conceptual art wins again! If we were painters, and had shown only 1 slide of our work, there is no way we would have been accepted! But since M.River held his own and simply described some of our ideas, we won the jury over.

Thanks M.River, for staying cool while I sulked. Thank you conceptualism, for making clear that ideas can be as important as aesthetics in art.

(Of course, they could have just felt sorry for us. Or, perhaps our dismal display of incompetence may have made it abundantly clear to them that we were in sore need of some professional development.) permanent link to this post
