PRESENTATIONS: APRIL 12

This is really early, but I want to make sure you all have plenty of time to think about this, gather your resources, and plan the project.

Online Curated Exhibitions
(Present in class on April 12)

parameters:

+ using the theme or idea that you have identified to work with this semester, curate 5-7 artworks that intersect with this theme

+ use weebly.com to organize the information and publish the exhibition

objectives:

+ to deepen the understanding of your work via exploration through the lens of one facet or central theme

+ to strengthen your case for relevance by contextualizing yourself through connections to historical and contemporary art and artists

+ to master this free & simple web tool, and to experience the power of online publishing

include the following pages on your weebly site:

1. home page - title and short description of the exhibition, possibly include an image.

(You can think of the home page, metaphorically, as the approach to your house--  its appearance is an indicator of what's inside.)

2. curator's statement - 350 word statement about the exhibition, the central theme/idea, why you chose it, etc

3. the works - include images of 5-7 works you have selected along with artist name, title, date, medium, dimensions.

4. links to a minimum of 3 online resources (articles/websites/etc) that supported your research and/or provide further information about your ideas, topic, or theme.

Lumianria

It may seem a little early for this, but I need you all to think about your Luminaria project, in particular the form that it is going to take.

The more I know before the logistics meeting nest Tuesday, the better the chance that we'll be able to get what we need (space-wise, movable wall-wise, and lighting-wise).  For those who are legitimately out of town (Robert & Lucia), I'm going to make your participation optional.  (You'll still have critique #2, but having the work installed in the show is not required).

So please give this some attention.  And let me know what you decide, in class on Monday.  Thanks!

approproation

RIP: A Remix Manifesto


A truly inspired and inspiring film!!
I look forward to reading your 200-word (minimum) reflections on it (including, if desired, the readings & our class discussion)


Post by midnight Thursday & read everyone's posts over the weekend.
Responses to posts optional, but encouraged!




ALSO:  a reminder that we will start next class by hosting students from Say Sí and I will show-and-tell about my work & the UTSA New Media Program.


The rest of the session is studio & 1-on-1.  Because I recognize that it can be a challenge to bring in something to work on when you are used to working off-premises, I'm bringing in a stack of National Geographic Magazines in case anybody would like to put into practice (in 2D collage form) what we witnessed in the film.  If you do have stuff to work on for first critique, however, please do work on it... but we will all be at it, on the premises, until 9PM.




FINALLY:  The first Luminaria logistics meeting has been announced for
Tuesday, February 9th at 6:00 pm at the Pearl Stable.

Would anybody(s) like to act as a representative for the UTSA New Media Program exhibition?  This is great experience, and will be duly noted for extra credit.
If so, please email me.
