RICHARD PRINCE

Everyone's favorite American Machismo Arist has a big retrospective going up this weekend at the Guggenheim. There's sure to be more cowboys, muscle cars, and biker chicks than at any Midwest County Fair. And his famous 'joke paintings' too.

A Message from the MSSO President

Greetings and welcome to NYU’s Museum Studies Student Organization’s blog. My name is Bobby Ives and I serve as the President for MSSO. Over the next year we hope to implement an unprecedented amount of change within the organization and we can't do it without you. Some initiatives for this year are an alumni network, faculty events, a directory for students, career development workshops, behind the scenes tours of museums, and social events (since the best part of the Museum Studies program is the students). Help us make this year the best ever and join MSSO!



On a personal note, I hail from Oakbrook Terrace, one of the many suburbs of Chicago. I have a BA from Washington University in St. Louis in Political Science and International Studies. After graduating I moved to San Francisco and worked as the Housing Coordinator at the San Francisco Art Institute. Currently I work at NYU as the Academic Development Assistant in the Residential Education Department and I also intern in the Department of External Affairs at the New Museum of Contemporary Art which opens its new building on December 1st. I'm probably one of the last people on the planet not on facebook or myspace but regardless, you can contact me by email at arbokives@yahoo.com. Thanks for visiting the blog!

Welcome to NYU Museum Studies!

Hello, new and returning Museum Studies students!

You've found the blog for the Museum Studies Student Organization. Today begins the first day of fall classes. Exciting times! With this blog we hope to maintain a forum for the Student Organization- an opportunity to communicate with other students. I'll be updating the site with museum studies news and interesting museum shows and events.

And if you have any stories, thoughts, museum/exhibit reviews - email them to your blogger- pjs340@nyu.edu. I'd like to make this blog highly communal.

The Richard Serra show is only up for a few more days. If you haven't seen it yet, it's worthwhile. And if you're new to the city, it's a great chance to see MoMA.



Check the site for hours- MoMA.org

Good luck with the semester and check this blog often for updates!
