Munk has been written up repeatedly in the *New York Times* (for his video-blog<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/25/nyregion/via-youtube-painte… paintings<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/30/arts/design/loren-munk-locat…)l>), has gained notoriety as an art video-blogger around the city, and lectures widely at art institutions. See below + attached posters for more information! Best, Your Dudley Arts Fellows ... *LOREN MUNK * *March 12 (Wednesday) - Workshop in the Private Dining Room at Dudley House (Harvard affiliates and guests)* *March 13 (Thursday) - Artist talk, conversation, Q&A at 29 Garden Street (open to the public)* *WORKSHOP*: Brooklyn-based painter, video blogger and local art historian *Loren Munk*will offer a workshop at Dudley on "*Strategies for Reception*." Aspiring artists and creative communicators of all kinds will learn ways to use the internet and the world around them to enhance visibility. The workshop will present systematic and spontaneous ways to promote creative work, curate an online presence, and to stay culturally aware---and keep track of the art scene---one day at a time. Skills and techniques discussed will include blogging, vlogging, social media, and old fashioned leg-work. Drawing on his years of producing the NYC art vlog the "*Kalm Report*," which has over 8,000 subscribers worldwide, Munk will walk participants through the nuances of editing and posting YouTube videos, and how uses of linking and metatext can amplify response. Participants should bring a laptop computer if possible. The workshop will be held *Wednesday, March 12 at 7-8:30 in Dudley House*(Private Dining Room) and is open to all Harvard affiliates and their guests. *Bring $5 to the office on the third floor of Dudley House to register. Students can also drop in by bringing $5 to the workshop on Wednesday evening*. *ARTIST TALK: * *Art History and You: What, Why, and How* Join us for a conversation about your role in art history. Since he was arrested in the 1980s for graffiti tagging, Munk has been making waves in the New York art scene. With his ear close to the ground, Munk paints vibrant, painstakingly accurate charts and maps tracing art movements, galleries, and communities that reflect New York's unique position at the intersection of local and international art. Alongside his project of aestheticized art history, Munk has become notorious in the city's art scene for the *Kalm Report*, a video blog that lets viewers around the world wander virtually through New York galleries and museums. The over 500 videos in his repertoire have garnered more than 8,000 YouTube subscribers, and three million unique views on YouTube. Munk will speak on how creative communicators of all kinds can break down the walls of art history, activating lateral connections and building dynamic communities. Drawing on his immense, direct knowledge of NYC's art scene over the past few decades, he will address ways--both theoretical and practical--of complicating the linear narrative of art history as a parade of 'great' figures and movements. His talk will be followed by conversation and Q&A. *7 pm on Thursday, March 13th at 29 Garden Street Art Space*
