Walking a bit tomorrow

Hi Folks
So, Susan O'Malley has agreed to talk to our class tomorrow at the ICA, about the process of curating the MFA shows that have taken place at the ICA so far. And, we'll look at the Lift-Off show. We'll meet in the classroom at 3 and walk over to the ICA.
After that, we can walk to the Art Ark to see the show there.

Headlands Open House Reminder

Hi Folks
A reminder that the Headlands Open House is this Sunday starting at 12.30. If you're planning to drive up there and are willing to take others with your group, it would be great if you'd email me; a student in my Systems and Structures class named Man Kim really wants to get a ride but most of that class isn't going because it's too far.
Thanks!
Shannon

Opportunities

A couple of cartoonists that would be awesome to see, at the Jewish Community Center of SF. There are seats available for Ben Katchor, but only "simulcast" tickets available for Chris Ware and Art Speigelman. Presented through SFAI and CCA, so I guess those students get all the real tickets.
