The Diego Gallery on the main campus is much nicer than the Swell Gallery and actually
gets a little public attention since there is always foot traffic from the street popping in to see what’s on display. The current show is titled “I Often Shoot Myself” featuring photographic self-portraiture by eighteen artists in the summer MFA program, one of them is me!

Of course I’m always excited by self-portraits and was eager to participate in this show, since I don’t have too many works that wouldn’t qualify. The invitation to participate was issued months ago, so my piece is kind of old. But it’s fun to see it on display, especially alongside a vast assortment of other artists playing with self-representation.

Here is the view of the gallery (the fourth wall is the Diego mural). Click the image for a larger panoramic view:
