Urbana Arts Track

13 February 2007 by 1 Comment

Being an exhibitor I did not get to spend time in the Arts Lounge at Urbana 2006 last December. I felt then and feel now like I missed out on a great opportunity to encourage and connect with the upcoming generation, the generation with opportunity to influence the future of our visual environment:

I don’t lament exhibiting for Mission Data International, not in the least. I just wish I could have done both.

I actually received a follow-up email from Urbana 2006 — for signing up as a party interested in the arts. I did the same in 2003 but nothing came out of that conference that I was aware of. Urbana uploaded a “Photoessay” of the Arts lounge. I found the following image, apparently drawn by a delegate who visited the lounge, to be pretty compelling:

About pcNielsen
Paul Nielsen founded The Aesthetic Elevator late in 2005. He owns a piece of paper, located somewhere in his house (not on the wall), stating that he earned a B.F.A. from the University of Nebraska around about 2001. While there, he studied studied architecture, graphic design and ceramics, graduating with a degree in studio art. Paul presently serves as communications manager for a small non-profit doing their print design and marketing. He spends as much time sculpting in his studio as possible — which is not nearly enough.
