AFTER SEEING Katie Holten's exhibition in the Butler Gallery, I thought Microsofties responsible for tablet computing would do well to walk through too. Parts of the Holten exhibition remind me of things I've seen inside Microsoft. There's a hallway at Microsoft filled with photocopies of notes and samples of notes from all over the world. There are notes done linearly, notes using outlines with letters and numbers, notes inside squares and notes on calendars. In similar fashion, Katie Holten writes notes all over the place. Some are on display in the Butler Gallery and they tell a fun story. A sample of her work is at left and Flickr is tagged with other pieces from her studio. I've seen Holten's work in several exhibitions and have asked students from Tipperary Institute to comment below on what they thought about the current exhibition in Kilkenny's Butler Gallery.
