I can't believe that we have been here for more than 2 weeks already--SLOW DOWN, TIME!!! Especially after losing time to the Monster Virus, the Flu. I remember our first week of class through a fog of congestion, low-grade fever, and an inability to focus clearly. Sorry to all if it was hard to follow my train of thought. When I finally felt truly well, nothing could dampen my spirit!
Some questions that came up in class (both Studio and Seminar) that get to the real essence of it all, and are thrilling: What is a space anyways?, How do you know that you are in a "Space?", Because of boundaries? How do you know when you have stumbled on a boundary? Is a space just a 3-dimensional point A to point B? Also fantastic questions about contemporary art & practice in Seminar: Are we always supposed to consider the context that we are in when we look at art? Are artists making things in light of this presumption? What gives value to On Kawara's date paintings? Can we trust him (or any artist) to tell us the "truth" about his/her process?
All this is one short week!
I am looking forward to seeing the "data" everyone collected on their individual spaces. The blog posts are wonderful, and engrossing to read. Bravi!
I need to shrink down the images from the "Mapping" into lecture, so I can get most of them up on Flickr. Sorry for the delay--if anyone has a burning need to see/refer to any images I showed, then let me know.
