So, does any one want to

So, does any one want to talk about relationality and/or autonomy? It seems pertinent to some of the conversations I’ve been having with fellow grads recently. I saw a presentation last year at CAA called “From database and place to bio-tech and bots: relationality vs autonomy in media art.” It got me looking at Bourriaud and Bey. Jeremy, you’ve read Bourriaud, non?

Most of us are functioning as image makers, in the sense that the work will be viewed after the fact via video or photo documentation. As artists, are you complicit in that relationship or do you take it on?

How do some of you use the spectacle in your work? How does your work negotiate a pull towards academicism? Do you employ traditional forms, or go with the aura of the new(er) medias?

You probably already know about this, but Marcel Duchamp!!!!! is coming to the Phillips Gallery this Thursday, to speak from 6-8. Is is possible for our class to go? I know that our papers are due that day, but it just sounds like a cool trip.

Duchamp is very, very dead.

Will this be a viewing of his desiccated remains?

Confusing.

Constable at the NGA

I've got a review of the Constable show at the National Gallery in this week's City Paper:

It's been awhile. Mostly because we're between arts editors right now.

Know any?
