Turning Journaling into Audio for Your Art Show with Cathy Read (#43)

One of the most important lessons in my course, Magnetic You,
involves meditating on your art. You read that right. Meditating on
your art. ****I insist that art speaks when you give it the time
and space to tell you its story. Then you have to capture that
story in a journaling process. In the spring of 2018, Cathy Read
worked her way through this course, and wrote pages and pages about
a new body of work. Then she got an idea from another lesson in
Magnetic You to leverage all of that writing she had done.

It didn’t just stay in a notebook or in a file somewhere in the
dark depths of her computer. Nooooo. She put it to work and
turned her written stories into audio for an exhibition.


The leap Cathy took from written word to audio involves a
different way of thinking. It’s much like how museums consider
programming their shows. They don’t simply put up the art along
with nearby labels. They have docents who lead tours, scholars
who give presentations, activities to expand on a theme, and
audio for telling stories.


In this episode, Cathy and I talk about how she created a process
for this, how it worked out, and what she'd do differently next
time.
