Class Calendar

Hi Folks
I need to get a few dates from you guys so I can plan the rest of the semester. Those of you who have ATC shows, MFA shows or other shows scheduled, please send me the info/ dates. This way I can figure out where we ought to be on a given day.
I just added you all as "authors" of the blog, so you don't have to use the comments section anymore. I noticed how much more in-depth everyone's comments were in Dore's class, and I'm blaming this on the fact that the students get to participate as "authors" in there!

Thanks!
Shannon

Big Red Shiny, reading, etc

Hi Folks
let's all remember to go to Andrew's Big Red Shiny show at the Art Ark on Friday 6-9.
Also, the show at the ICA with Gay Outlaw opens Friday night. She'll be our visiting artist in April.
Sorry I didn't get us into room 133 earlier-- I'll pay attention to that in the future.
The reading for next week: it's under Art 173, the Shape of Space. "Notes on the Gallery Space" by Brian O'Doherty, from "Inside the White Cube."

Tuesday

Hi Folks
this Tuesday we will talk about the Elkins reading, and I'd like to show the David Hockney video about space and time in a Chinese scroll painting. I believe Angela is going to show us what she's working on. And, although I don't want all our class time to be used up by the Tuesday night lecture series, this Tuesday's lecture is one of the most "famous" artists we will probably ever get here, so I think we should go to that and the opening of the show. Gottfried Helnwein-- I've seen library books on him since I was in undergrad, but never knew much about him. Here's one link.

Also, I'm working on my own blog, that's tied in to our last reading, and to the pieces I'm about to start work on. I intend to keep revising what's here indefinitely-- just started it this weekend.
