Hello All,
I’m reaching out to my social networks to ask for a little help. In addition to being an artist I’m also a curator and professor and I’ll soon be applying to go on sabbatical for the academic year 2013-14. My sabbatical proposal will be due early this November. To strengthen my application and thus increase the chances that it will be supported and funded by the university I’m looking to find exhibition, residency, visiting artist and curatorial opportunities for the period of July 2013-September 2014. I’m particularly interested in finding opportunities to pursue outside the U.S. as I’ve had very limited travel and exhibition opportunity for myself and my work outside of the states. However, with that said I’m still very open to and interested in new prospects in the states as well. If any of you have any leads I might follow up on, suggestions for whom I might contact or venues to investigate I’d VERY much appreciate hearing from you. For more information on me and my work please visit my website: http://www.corypeeke.com. Please let me know if you have questions. I look forward to your feedback and thank you in advance!

Dr. Martin Luther King Was Assassinated On This Date In 1968
He was, more than any single man, the voice and the instrument of the second American revolution. He materialized out of the streets and the Jim Crow churches of the South a dozen years ago, preaching brotherhood and nonviolence to a divided and violent land. For a time, incredibly, it worked- until the very forces he had helped set in in motion swept past him and turned the black ghettos of America into battlegrounds. Yet King never gave up, and he was trying to prove his way would work again when a white assassin cut him down last week in Memphis- and dealt a perilous wound to the American soul.

“Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f***ing idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly.” -Jon Hamm
