This Week:

I watched The Thing from the Factory by the Field, a short teenage horror-ish movie about factory farming, the devil, and heavy metal.
The Yager Museum hosted a reception for graduating seniors who have worked at or taken classes in the Museum. Congrats folks!
In MUST204, students worked for one more week on their solo collections management projects.
I bought The Invisible Comes to Us by Anna and Elizabeth. One of their members is also a member of the equally weird and delightful folk group Doran, whose album I bought last year. The Invisible Comes to Us an fantastic and strange neo-folk album, held together by the titular duo’s haunting close harmonies. A good example is here, in their beautiful version of an old gospel song “Mother in the Graveyard”.
I finished reading Volume 1 of Resonant by DB Andry, a smart post-apocalyptic comic series about violence both hidden and inescapable and families and communities trying to survive in between.
I submitted some materials for people to work and intern at the Museum for the summer and the fall.
I did some graphic design work to improve the visual presentation of an exhibit at the Museum.
