curious, issue ii, cover, 2008	CURIOUS, issue II Graduate Seminar Publication, 2008 Kendall Buster & Siemon Allen (eds) Department of Sculpture & Extended Media VCU ARTS, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA Curious is the second in a series of publications undertaken by students in the Graduate Seminar of the Department of Sculpture and Extended Media at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. The eleven artists represented in this book were each asked to produce from six to sixteen pages that reflected self-directed personal research and, more importantly, operated in an oblique relationship to a studio practice focused primarily on object making. From internet sampling to collage of antique books, from scanned archival material and collected artifacts to sketches and watercolors, from brief private actions to elaborately staged scenes, the result is a window into each of these artist’s creative process. Evidence that behind the curious object is a curious mind.
