Last night cornish curator Cable Griffith presented a selection of his works past and present and discussed his background in art curating as well as his new vision for the gallery at Cornish. Amongst his colorful and explosive paintings Griffith introduced us to his life of art making and his constant struggles and successes in being a creative person. Though his talk focused mainly on his works in paint our foundations class was asked to point this blog post more towards his current role as cornish curator. Griffith described his love for curating and his obsession with connecting to art and trying to tell a story though his shows. He explain his affection for putting smaller elements together to create a large more expansive and exciting experience. Cable continued to expand on his curatorial vision envisioning participation and experimentation, breaking the mold and creating something invigorating for the community. Between his inspirational plans Griffith briefly commented on his struggle with finding the correct theme for a show and keeping relevant and flexible with the times. All in all he inspired and informed our Wednesday night class and pointed myself and my fellow students down a path full of discovery, education and art making.
