Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to create an installation piece which forms an environment within an exhibition setting. I will be able to evaluate my accomplishment by having available at the site a guest book for recording attendees' thoughts and holding an artist talk to discuss and receive comments. 2: My goal is to learn Adobe Premiere Pro to videotape my installation for documentation and promotional purposes. I will have a videotape of the installation reviewed by art colleagues for effectiveness.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Kristi's first solo exhibition at the Textile Center incorporated an interactive piece focusing on the state of unknowing. Kristi evaluated the effectiveness of her work through personal observations and interviews with attendees as well as through staff observations. 2: Kristi created a promotional video by using contentsamurai.com for documentation and promotional purposes. Kristi presented the video to an artist support group she belongs to called SD8 and will post-it on her website soon.
