After the premiere of our film project, Teen Takes on the Biennial, we were excited to move on to our next project: teen tours of 2010. On April 29, we officially began our Biennial tour season with a group of students from Brandeis High School. The group was extremely extrovert and shared profound thoughts on selected works from the galleries. Led by Lisette and me, the group spent almost two hours walking through both the third and fourth floors of the Museum.

We talked about a number of works, including:
- Curtis Mann, After the Dust, Second View, 2009
- Stephanie Sinclair, Self-immolation in Afghanistan: A Cry for Help, 2005
- Pae White, Smoke Knows, 2009
- Roland Flexner, Untitled, 2008-9
- Thomas Houseago, Baby, 2009-2010
As tour guides we certainly had a great time. I hope the teens from Brandeis High School did too!
