That Voice Sounds Familiar

May 22, 2008

Have you visited the Corcoran’s exhibition The American Evolution: A History Through Art and noticed the familiar voice on the audio tour? This month’s ARTnews reveals that it’s the voice of Project Runway’s Tim Gunn. Gunn, who was a BFA graduate of the Corcoran College of Art & Design in 1976, has now re-affiliated himself with the institution, giving lectures and lending his voice. Gunn goes on to further support DC’s art community in ARTnews by discussing his donation of a work by Anne Truitt, his art school inspiration and senior thesis advisor, to the Hirshhorn after learning of her retrospective there in ’09.

I wonder if “make it work” or “this worries me” was coined by Truitt as she reviewed his student work…
