Slog - Comments on Visual Art Intern Needed http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/visual_art_intern_needed Here's the text of the classified ad. Wanted: Stranger Visual Art Intern Three months of Shangri-La with my wry and well-outfitted viz-art intern, Jamey Braden, are about to come to an end. The good news for any incoming intern is that she'll train you, and she is worth knowing. The job involves putting together the art calendar every week, and occasionally Slogging about what you see out there, art-wise. It's probably an 8-hour weekly commitment that lasts about three months, and you should be able to come into the Capitol Hill office to work. My ideal candidate is someone who...

You can sense that this former sk8rboi once lived in a country free from fear, but as the burning hay - detritus of the Beltway-financed ethanol industry that enslaves him - depicts, his hunched and weary shoulders have forced him into a serfdom for his oil baron masters.

Yet he looks up, in the distance, to the promise of the rebellion soon to come.

The small hill, with a lone scraggly tree upon it, represents the former forest wealth of the Pacific Northwest, now despoiled to feed the baronial estates of the Cheney-Bush insiders, and the footwear of the soon-to-rebel serf shows his connection with the land, both in it's organic feel and it's umber tones.

A slight menace is felt, akin to that before the Troubles in Ireland exploded upon the world, and the forecoming struggle for freedom vibrates in the shades and shadows of the piece.

... how did i do?

I would say "Stan Douglas. Past Imperfect"
in Stockholm.
