<p>hello all,</p>
<p>i have a couple of options this summer- i applied to tasp, but in all likelihood i wont get in. my ideal summer though, is to do an internship with independent research on the side most likely in art. how exactly do i legitimize this research on say, a college application? one way might be to get a professor, but ive tried that- no such luck :(. or is it acceptable to just say you did research on your own?</p>
<p>What do you mean research on art? Like art history?</p>
<p>not to go into too much detail, but it would have to do something with contemporary art-- not anything thats commonly studied, so i cant take a class or anything</p>
<p>would the research culminate in a show or in a paper?</p>
<p>i havent decided that yet, but right now both verbal and tangible visual (as opposed to a show)-- hmmm. maybe i can send it in? thats not a bad idea</p>
<p>Maybe you could think of venues where you can present your research? That might make it more legit and then also might open it to others to collaborate and/or comment on. I’m thinking a small local museum or in front of a group or club that would find the subject matter relevant to the mission of the group.</p>
