American Arts and CAC

American Arts- i'll be talking tonight, so i'll keep it short and sweet here. or at least short. i found one blog post that stood out to me for a couple of reasons. mostly, "how important is what we do". for the full report, attend cyberped, tonight at 6 pm in McLean.

CAC- i need someone else's opinion on this. my personal experiences with buy-in artist clubs has been a little less than satisfying. we'll chat.

Mess Hall, Walker AC, Three-Walls

Mess Hall- I loved the map of peoples' function in the organization. I'm not sure how helpful it is, but as an artwork, it's awesome. I'm also really interested in hierarchies in work environments, so this was funny and refreshing in its format--aka not a pyramid.
Also, I'm taking a class with one of these people next semester. Anybody understand the Jam website? I am a little confused. Interested, but I need to think about it a lot more. I might make y'all talk about it on Tuesday.
Walker AC- The weekly drawing club, as part of the Open Field project, is so amazing. I was part of a class that incorporated this kind of practice during my undergrad. It was a great stress reliever and totally changed the way I look at ownership of work/being social while working.
Three Walls- I talked a little with one of the people who works here (and is an SAIC professor, I think in the art history/criticism/fiber? department) I love the CPS Thinktank idea. To think, I can teach and still *gasp* be in contact with practicing artists? I wonder how teachers actually get involved though.
