Studio Advisor meeting with Laura Gonzales – via Skype
Friday March 13 2015
8.30am EST (12.30pm GMT)
My concerns for discussion in this meeting were:
1. The final Studio project and what form it should take.
2. My up-coming workshop series with art students at Warren
Wilson College.
My final project will be a completed Pedagogy for
Performance Art that includes a body-based approach to developing performance
as well as contextualizing Performance Art within contemporary art history.
We discussed ideas for presenting this as a syllabus, a
journal, a zine, a blog site – all things to consider.
I will be conducting a workshop series for six weeks with an
after-school art club group of students at Warren Wilson (a private liberal
arts college in NC). We will have two hours per week – however, due to
scheduling issues I may not have all the students present for every session –
so we have decided to extend the course to include inter-active social media
participation.
Laura & I discussed ways of making this work by creating
a structure for the syllabus that would be solid enough to absorb the chaos!
My idea for the theme is “Place, Space, Site: real &
virtual spaces” – Laura challenged me to research & think about potential
meanings of this concept & to be well equipped to deal with a myriad of
possibilities.
Laura also planted the seed in my mind o think about what I
want to focus on next year.
