Subject: Obsessive Consumption: The Death of Market Research
From: Kate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Well Hello Happy Shoppers!
So much, so much, so much has been going on...and I have so much, so much,
so much to tell.
First I am proud to announce that the site is updated and ready to be
viewed-
http://www.obsessiveconsumption.com
Some highlights for the past weeks...lots of airport imagery and just the
start of featuring ridiculous thesis show material purchases (astroturf!
Faux wood contact paper, pink air fresheners!).
+++SPEAKING OF THESIS SHOW+++
Obsessive Consumption: The Death of Market Research
April 19th - 28th
Opening reception: April 23rd - 6-8
Eistentrager�Howard Gallery
University of Nebraska, Lincoln
I am making fancy invites.
If you would like to receive one in the mail please send me your mailing
address so you can celebrate this special day in your own personal way.
Ha!
Anyway.
I mean it. I want to send out mail.
Please attend if you can, but if you can't still ask for an invite!
+++Obsessive Consumption is also participating in the semi-permanent design
conference/ yen magazine/Curvy exhibition in Sydney Australia.
More details here: http://www.yenmag.net/dev/article.php?iss=9&art=73
This one I won't be able to attend. Because I live in Nebraska. And that is
far away from Sydney. But I am super honored to have been invited.
+++THIS IS THE BIG NEWS DON'T SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH+++
Obsessive Consumption is stopping the documentation on April 22nd, 2004.
I know. I said it. I am doing it.
April 22nd seems like a good stopping point. It is the day before my thesis
opening. And that day is exactly 28 months from when I first started. And
grad school is over for me.
I have a job. Next fall I will be an assistant professor of Graphic Design
at Mississippi State.
But don't think you have heard the last of me.
I have big plans for new projects and I will make sure to keep all of you in
the loop. That is if you want to be. I would be sad if you left at this
point. WE HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH!!!
The site will still remain up for a while.
I will update it with photos from my thesis show.
And I will be selling new work on it after my thesis show.
Hot, cool, awesome work that you will desperately want and need.
SO you haven't heard the last of obsessive consumption yet.
And those who participated in the "What Did You Buy Today Catalog" project
will be getting catalogs soon as well. And those of you who still want to
participate...I have some space. Details on site. E-mail me if you want to
still join the party.
But yes, April 22nd, 2004. Last Day.
Oh my, I am getting a little misty here.
Okay, no, not really.
Shop and Awe!
Kate
