Devouring

Hi, I'm Kate Watson.
Welcome to a blog revival.


I'd love to hear from you...



Check out my ITP class blog here...

Been meeting and brainstorming with lots of awesome folks about the Thesis Archive in recent weeks. Here’s a quick rundown on a few exciting developments!

More adventures in old media: a second visit to MIAP, and a surprise (temporary) gift from the amazing Jason Scott…a Syquest Drive! We have 2 Syquest Cartridges in our collection. I’d never seen one before— they’re crazy.

It’s fall. I am wearing a scarf.

Went to the New Museum to see the Brion Gysin exhibition but ended up spending much more time looking at the Rivane Neuenschwander show .

The work was so simple— buckets hung from the ceiling in two tiers, dripping water from one to the next. A video captured a seemingly animated bubble with incredible tenacity moving from room to room in an abandoned house. A floating egg on a spoon fearlessly bounced along a path, its carrier unseen and unheard.

I was moved. Now that I’ve stopped writing art criticism, I don’t have to explain why.

I am thinking a lot about making art, about what it will take for me to open the floodgates. More on this soon.

Just your typical school supplies…
Hello, here I am, returning to the blogosphere after a long withdrawal. And I’m back to share with you all of the news and excitement as I make my way through the wild world of NYU’s ITP. Stay tuned.

I know someone who really met Belushi
I fixed the toilet so it doesn’t always run
I moved a chair over by the window
I feel better if my laundry’s done…
…I’m doing alright! Everything’s great!
Post script: The Waitresses are highly underrated. I fixed my toilet today.

Last week, some amazing friends and I hosted a super fun evening of screenings in my backyard. I did a special performance in honor of that very special Bastille Day. We watched movies, ate cupcakes, drank Lone Star and champagne, lit sparklers and chilled in the kiddie pool. Couldn’t get any better than that.
