So I've been pretty all around terrible with this whole blogging thing the last few months. But I have a good reason. Actually, no I don't. But I've decided to just do it. To bite the bullet and post something, even if it's boring and meaningless to anyone but myself. I've realized that the longer I wait the more pressure builds up to post something spectacular, and really, that's just too much anticipation. Too much pressure.
Essentially my life the last few months has consisted of my internship in the communications department at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
Just a few words on that. The first would have to be: awesome. I'm learning so much. I'm the public relations intern, officially, so I spend most of my time dealing with external communications, writing pitch letters and press releases. And basically spend my time pumping up public programming with the likes of Simon Doonan, Thurston Moore, and other famous artsy folks, and getting excited about upcoming exhibitions: Richard Avedon. Maya Lin. Can anyone say holy mackerel!? I've worked with press from Spain covering the Elena del Rivero opening (If you click on the "press information tab," I wrote that release...) and some how have managed to be on a first-name basis with the cultural attache to Spain (this isn't my life, right?). You can see me in this news reel for CNN+, the Spanish affiliate of CNN. And I was recently (read: My arm.) on the Spanish version of the Associated Press, Efe!
Here is the package for CNN+ covering the installation process of the Elena del Rivero exhibtion, Home Suite. I am the one in the gray skirt. Sorry, it's in Spanish:
In addition to random encounters with Spanish press, I have been helping with the editing process for the catalog that will accompany the Richard Avedon show due to open mid-September. I edited the essay by the curator, Paul Roth, that will appear in the catalog. I also compiled the text for the brochure that will be handed to every patron. I've been a busy B.
And it's just all around fun. The program consists of 14 girls and one guy and I've found a group of three other interns who are just so great. We have lunch everyday and talk and gossip about our lives. Very Sex and the City-esque. It's fabulous.
It was my goal this summer to blog more and keep on top of this thing, but yet again, and as always it seems that life has gotten in the way of life.
More soon.

Yay! She returned! It's so nice to have you back. I expect more updates soon, right!
And nice TV spot!
Um, I am very jealous of you. My internship has consisted of sitting, making phone calls, writing, sitting, occasionally going on an interview, and much much more sitting. In a dark, dreary newsroom. Poo. But I am also EXCITED for you!!! Sounds like so much FUN!
