First It Was The Artists: The Myth Of "Nice" Gentrification In Art | Chicago Literati - 0 views

  • “Artists have the capacity, when we gather, to do what nobody else in the world can do. We can make out of a series of nothings, a series of abandoned buildings… things that people would discard. Artists have a way of connecting belief and ability and a willing to work at a thing longer than mosts would and create heat… wherever there’s heat, people want to be around it, and what we found is that people wanted to be wherever artists work. If artists could manage some of the cultural capital that we had, artists could be the real transformers of communities.”

MAPPING MEANING 2014 - 0 views

  •  
    "The 2014 Mapping Meaning workshop will utilize the concept of a BioBlitz as a model for thinking about what it means to holistically "experience", "assess", "know" and "teach" place. We will expand this model to create an abcBLITZ, where abc stands for arts, biology and culture, as well as the metaphorical building blocks of "life/language". In essence, the abcBLITZ will be a focused way to think about interdisciplinary pedagogy - recognizing not only the importance of biodiversity but also the cultural and artistic histories central to any holistic understanding of a place."

Just Say NO! | Creative Infrastructure - 0 views

  • I am a huge supporter of internships as experiential learning opportunities if they are truly that, with clearly delineated learning objectives, supervision by experts, and time limits.  But this was obviously not an internship in that sense.

Expanded Spatial Practices, Visual Art and Design Research Group (VADRG), University of... - 1 views

  • 'Site-writing' examines how writing art criticism can be understood as a form of situated practice where the writing responds to those site suggested by the artwork: those that are there as well as here, those that exist in the memories and imaginations of the artist and critic as well as in the tangible present, those connected to the sites of the work's production as well as reception.This workshop asks you to remake one site in relation to another, specifically to explore the potential of writing as a way of making relations between sites. Writing here includes not only as script but also as text, which might include visual images, and/or words as images, and also words as they are spoken and performed.
