should I investigate a MFA

Kelly Sears invited me to come to see two of her films as part of Fresh, a showcase of work from the MFA program at UCSD. It was at a very interesting exhibition space, part of the Museum of Contemporary Art downtown. We got there just as she and fellow hampshire alum, Tara Knight, were speaking about their work. It was great to see them, and I realized how much had changed with all of us since we began college. Kelly and Tara both looked elegant and beautiful, and in the best of ways, older than in Prescott days.
Kelly was giving out her drink tickets, as she heading back to LA later that night. We were brosing the crowd, the drink line, talking about work, when Kelly said, "excuse me I have to do something political." Later, after an engrossing conversation with a woman our mother's age, she resurfaced and said casually, "That was Barbara Kruger." I was pretty floored.
