A Brief Introduction

My name is Nick Stahl, I'm an undergraduate student at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI (just south of Green Bay), double majoring in Studio Art, emphasis sculpture and digital processes, and Biology concentration neuroscience. Contrary to popular belief it is possible to do both, but, it does involve a bit of schedule finagling. So if you're reading, this and people have told you it isn't possible, they are liars.

I've started this blog to share with the world, lawrence campus, faculty, friends and some family an accummulation of my work towards my senior show, Mudd gallery show, and possible honors project for the 2009-2010 academic year. And, the occasional post about whatever it is that I find fascinating at the moment.

I'm currently in an Advanced Scuplture and New Media Installation independent study with my professor Rob Neilson, Associate Professor of Art at Lawrence University.

My interests at the moment, look back toward Fluxus, Avant Garde film, and contempoary artists who use thirft stores as a means of inspiration for their work. I myself have made several digital shorts, and sculptures but towards the end of the 2008-2009 academic year began fusing both sculpture and new media together. Drawing inspiration from artists including: Nam June Paik, Anger, and Jaar.

I'll be updating this blog with weekly and prehaps daily posts, in regards to the ruminations and processes of my work.
