Hi!
I am a student at Front Range Community College in Colorado who is interested in exploring the very definition of Contemporary Art. I am currently working on a conceptual sculpture in which social media is the material hoping to illustrate that social networking forms a structure on its own…a so-called Sculpture of Contemporary Culture.
My ultimate aspiration, in using this e-mail, is that someone will get back to me with thoughts, video, and/or a sculpture response to what contemporary art is or has become to use in a exhibit for my tiny little school and our program.

At one time the class was discussed exploring this project from the aspect that we would all, as individuals, create work, criticize work and curate work in order to see it from all possible perspectives. Glad we didn't go that route.
