10/21/18: Class 65: Presentations & Discussion

Hey Projects Class ✨,

This is just a reminder that we resume our weekly class meeting tomorrow @ 2pm in room 901 of the NAB!

We've set aside all of tomorrow's class and at least part of next week (10/29) for an initial round of sharing and discussion. We'll hear from Walid and whoever feels ready tomorrow to present for at least 5 minutes in the format of your choosing. If you feel like you have something more than 15 minutes long please send me a quick note! Ideally by sharing we'll at least get a better sense of the constellation of developing interests. We'll leave some time to talk about upcoming readings and classes for the rest of the semester as well.

A  few of us met casually last week and Austin spoke a bit about the interplay between Projects and his 'Exhibition as Medium' Art History class. We spent the rest of class week riffing on ideas of site, archive, and presentation as they relate to Cooper in the 'present'. Just for fun I'm including our link trail below if anyone wants to see some of what came up up...🧀... 🐀
