Shannon G Wright: July 2013
http://shannongwright.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 28, 2013. Last year, my entire summer was stolen from me when my landlords announced that they were not renewing my lease. They explained that they were going to turn my 680 square-foot one-bedroom apartment into a two bedroom apartment by building two new walls in the living room. (They did this in about five days and raised the rent by $425.00. Impressive! While I work on new projects, I have two pieces in a show called Navigating the New that's currently up at Pro Arts.

Shannon G Wright: February 2014
http://shannongwright.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 2, 2014. In January, 2014, I installed the piece called "Folly (Colosseum of Rome)" with the help of a few current and former graduate students: Nathan Cox, Chauncey Rasmussen, Biagio Scarpello, and Nin Filip (whose chief role was photo guru.). Assembling the coliseum in its first location. Nathan Cox checking the quality of our eyeballed oval. Our "Brady Bunch" group photo with the assembled coliseum. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Shannon G Wright: February 2010
http://shannongwright.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. I suspect this will be my last post from Finland, as I'm leaving soon. As I write this, it is 0° Fahrenheit, and has been between 6° and about 12° all week, with lots of snow. Midday sun a couple of weeks ago. A Valentines Day Snow Carving event attracted more people than I had ever seen in Ekenas. Where have they all been hiding? Double bunnies, carved by Kim Simonsson. And the other resident artists at Villa Snacksund. Another Pro Artibus residency house for Finnish artists.

Shannon G Wright: The Knowledge
http://shannongwright.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-knowledge.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. My department chair sent me this beautifully-written story about what has been described as "the hardest test in the world," the London taxi-drivers' exam. The story basically embodies what I aim to communicate in my own work: the prospect of epic and irreversible loss of human knowledge and human capacity when we prioritize economic utility over all else.

Shannon G Wright: January 2010
http://shannongwright.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 21, 2010. Hard-Won Revelations About My Own Artmaking Process. I have just now compiled some rules by which I (and I alone) can gauge the potential of any one of my art ideas, before committing to the grueling task of giving it tangible form. If it isn’t funny (at least to me,) it’s probably a dead end. If it doesn’t have an elegant internal logic (with some peripheral room for interpretation) it’s also a dead end. Only when the image or idea arises fully-fledged as the result of seeing...
