lunch next week?

I wanted to congratulate you all on a wonderful final critique. The discussions that we had about your work was great and I hope you all feel accomplished and proud of your selves. We didnt get a chance to celebrate directly after the crit, and a few of you mentioned that you wouldn't mind grabbing lunch or dinner next week sometime... so, i am suggesting we go to Boca Fiesta sometime next week for lunch. Please write back and let me know a good day/time for you or if you are interested in this. i am free pretty much every day but friday.

let me know!
hope you all can make it- but if you can't no worries....

FINAL CRIT! CLASS STARTS AT 3!!!!

yes, it is finally here! i am so excited to see all your work and talk about it!
remember to:

*hang your work before class if possible- this will help get the ball rolling

*look over the articles for this section (readymade, found objects, dematerialization etc)

*be ready to reference some articles when talking about your own work and others work

*think about the differences between found objects and readymades

*know your artist influences- how you utilized them in your visual research books

*think about exhibition styles and think into past projects- does your work deal at all with linear narrative- non-linear or metaphor?

*bring food if you can!

this will be great!

and remember- mochi after! bring money and we will have a celebration party!

CLASS STARTS AT 3!!!!!

a great read!

Dear Class,

I am reading a book in one of my classes and much of the book discusses issues that Craig is going over in class- the book is called The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art by Martha Buskirk

So far we have read chapters 3 and 4- 4 especially pertains to the readymade- it is titled Context as Subject- i want to encourage you all to read this book if you have time- it is one of the best books i have had to read in graduate school thus far- so interesting!

here is a link, you can read it online through the UF library-

Falala Cappella

Hi friends! Need a study break/have nothing to do on Tuesday night? The 3 UF a cappella groups are having a Holiday showcase at Orange and Brew at 8 PM this Tues (Nov 30th). There will be a hot chocolate bar and it's free! We'll be singing normal songs and some Holiday favorites ("All I Want for Christmas is You"?!). The Sedoctaves go on last :)
