At the Blanton, it’s “YouTube-a-theque” time

By Jeanne Claire van Ryzin | Thursday, February 17, 2011, 12:50 PM

Everybody does it — shares those wacky videos that turn up on YouTube. Maybe you’ve even exhausted your Facebook friends with a few too many wacky YouTube posts. Maybe you’ve burned away the time watching too many silly cat videos.

Tonight you can share with the greater public during the Blanton Museum of Art’s “YouTube-a-theque.”

The first 20 people to line up and load up their videos onto the computer in the Blanton auditorium can show off their YouTube curatorial prowess. One video a person only. Videos must be three minutes or less. The event is moderated by artists Annie Arnold and Jason Mendiola.

“YouTube-a-theque” starts 6 p.m. today

The event is part of the Blanton’s Third Thursday with the museum open until 9 p.m. and free admission
