ray yoshida "the open eye"

   

I never met

Ray Yoshida

when I was at

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago

getting my MFA,

but I sure wish I had.

Just seeing this video reminds me of

all the cool and wacky professors I did meet and TA for 

including Robert Heinecken, Ken Josephson,

Mark Alice Durant, Fred Endsley, and Joyce Neimanas

just to name a few.

Ray's complete home collection will be on view at the

John Michael Kohler Arts Center

for the show

"The Open Eye"

So if you are in 

Sheboygan, Wisconsin 

(you never know!)

make sure to check it out,

looks like a really good time....
