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.
