The fall semester is two weeks old and I am finally getting back to the blog, which is a reflection of a busy semester.
We started with the usual introductions, meetings and studio selection process for the first year students. And to complete the first week we had a bbq on the terrace, which is what the photos are from.
The general plan for the semester is regular critiques for all of the students, complimented by individual meetings with me and a seminar. In the seminar we started with a discussion of Rebecca Solnit's Elements of a New Landscape from her book, As Eve Said to the Serpent. We also had a hearty discussion about critique formats and goals to set the stage for upcoming critiques. Future seminar sessions will alternate between readings provided by second year students and discussion of the book The Artificial Kingdom by Celeste Olalquiaga.
Most weeks we will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday so if you are interested in the program and want to visit the department these are great days to see us in action.
