So there’s a new show up at work (http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/exhibitions.php?id=3956) where an artist is drawing directly on the walls in the atrium. Pretty awesome. Someone in our marketing group shot some footage of it, and I edited together this short video of it for YouTube: (in the link below doesn’t work, go here: http://www.youtube.com/v/CkXXNGfx_3k)
The Guerrilla Girls presented at a recent symposium at MoMA. I cut the audio down and synched the images to create this shortened version of it for YouTube.
As part of work I got to edit a video of Polly Apfelbaum installing Blossom for the upcoming exhibition Comic Abstraction. I didn’t shoot the video and the audio was from Acoustiguide, but slapped it all into place.
I’m part of a group presenting at the National Art Education Association this year

210—Integrating Online Museum Resources in the Classroom: Examples from MoMA
Group Departs at 10:15 am—Returns at approximately 12:15 pm
This workshop will guide you through a variety of resources available to teachers on moma.org including interactive websites for students and teachers, collection based resources and audio materials. Focusing on activities which foster self-directed learning for K-12 students, as well as online lesson plans for teachers, participants will explore meaningful connections to the classroom. Learn about some of the major trends, forecasts for the future and discover how to integrate these online resources into the classroom and beyond. Laptop computers will be available for each participant. This is a short walk to the MoMA at 11 W 54th Street. Lunch will NOT be provided. Ticket Price: $FREE Limit: 20
I just finished helping get together a new section for the MoMA Teen site, Red Studio, that highlights work by the students in the summer program. I didn’t do any of the flasher bits on the site, but helped get the video compressed and into a Flash player, among other HTML smashing.

So now I am the face of MoMA’s “Gallery Talks” in our most recent brochure. Autographs are no longer free, people — I gots star power.
So one of the things I do at work is walk people around the museum and tell them stuff.
