Since my last post, a lot has been going on, so I thought I’d give a recap before we leave for Germany in a few days. Over the summer, I participated in a couple of group shows in NYC and at a space in Catskill. The following are installation images from the exhibition at White Box:

When the doors opened...
During the run of the show, the Napa Register interviewed me about my work and my upcoming project abroad. Here’s the link to the article: LINK
I’ve also recently updated images and information on my website: www.caetlynnbooth.com
In May, I graduated with my MFA in Visual Arts from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Here are some images of my studio space before I left. I was so happy to attend this program, and gained invaluable experiences there.

In mid-May, we went back to CA for a visit—my first time back in almost a year! Here are some images from that trip…

After CA, I went in for scheduled surgery for a herniated disc, something that had been causing a lot of pain and limiting my activities. The process of recovery was challenging but essential, aided by Don Quixote, Art & Physics, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Snow Crash along with a backlog of New Yorkers. A big thank you to my husband, family and friends for your strength, love and support.
And now, we’ve moved out of our apartment in New Jersey and all of our belongings are in a 6’ x 12’ storage unit in Pennsylvania…!
When we first arrive in Germany, we’ll be staying in Marburg for a 6-week language intensive. Later in September, we’ll arrive in Berlin and plan to live in the Kreuzberg, the neighborhood where I’ll have a studio as an artist in residence.
That’s all for now, so if you’re in Germany over the next year, please let me know!
