This coming April, I’ll be teaching a creative writing workshop at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art. The workshop will be an exploration of the intersection of visual art and writing (with a focus on creating the latter by using the former), as well as an exploration of Andy Warhol’s images of death, destruction, and celebrity (none of which is mutually exclusive). Registration isn’t terribly expensive, and it should be fun (if not also educational). You should sign up and come play!
Information on the MCA’s wesite can be found by following this link (which will lead you to the online registration link). Here’s the same information (minus the registration link) in blahgarific form:
Writing in a Visual World
Saturday, April 8, 1 – 4 pm and Sunday, April 9, 1 – 3 pm
Members: $60, Nonmembers: $70
Instructor: Shawn Huelle
Join writer Shawn Huelle to discuss and explore how visual arts and media images can shape our ideas and creative process. Create your own piece(s) of creative writing based on images and art that are relevant to you.
Self protriture in today’s digital world always seems more in the control of the subject. With forward extending arms, it impresses on the viewer that they are either a) being reached out to, or b) about to be hit.
Congrats on the class, Sean. If I were in town, I’d love to take it myself.
I will be back. . . and I heard they’re coming out with a sequel to that Lego video game, so we’ll have to kill a day and a million brain cells.
Hey Mr. Huelle, this is your former german student Jon Bourlier from scottsbluff, hs. I have been wanting to call you, but life got really busy as it does, then now, the number on the card you gave me at wncc the day of Gering’s graduation reached someone else, hehe. I was hoping to visit with you and wish you well on whatever you do, as for myself, I have nearly completed an AA degree in general studies, and one in Criminal Justice. In Fall of 2009 I will be attending classes at the University of Wyoming (in Laramie) for my bachelor’s in business and nursing, and will probably come back to Scottsbluff and expand my farming in Mitchell and hopefully farm and nurse part time. Again best wishes, and I hope everything is going well for you, feel free to email me sometime, and take care!
