When I arrived at U of L in 2013, the Speed Art Museum was a building on campus I never got to explore because it closed down for a three-year hiatus just after I began to settle into campus. After the long, three-year wait, I started getting antsy for the highly-anticipated opening at the top of this semester, as the Speed took its final shape and new art installations began to appear outside the building and inside the three-story windows seemingly every week.
Yesterday, this humanities major got the chance to venture through the Speed, camera in-hand, with my super creative friend Jacob, whose own dad’s art was actually featured in the Speed in the 90’s.
