Over and over and over and out

Working smarter not harder today. Here's a list of some of the artists we'll discuss during Cluster 4 (that's the next project module), taken from my notes from last season:

References
(stream of conciousness, not comprehensive)

Richard Serra (his Verb List provides many, many inroads into considering how you may activate a material). Also, the website that it links to--ubuweb.com-- is awesome. Thank you Kenneth Goldsmith for being out there and doing your thing.

Rei Kawukabo/ Commes de Garçon (their approaches to reshaping the body)

Pipolotti Rist (clothing, not so much as prosthesis, but as memory)

Andrea Zittel (we'll most likely screen the Art:21 segment in class)

Alexander Calder (view Calder’s Circus)

Nice Collective (their early lines incorporated boning; jackets that transform into kites)

Project Alabama (Natalie Chanin keepin it real and collaborating with the community)

Jessica Stockholder
Jana Sterbak
Ann Hamilton
Malcolm Cochran
Jean Tinguely
Bruno Pelassy

Stelarc

Survival Research Laboratories

Final Home (again, considering notions of community, Final Home's rainjackets rethink the body as shelter-- and were, until just recently, available through MoMA. Their website is great, although the preload takes forever)

Lygia Clark
Ernesto Neto
Helio Oiticia

Cecilia Vicuna (I'll link this to some audio of her reading her poetry soon, and probably hand out some of the materials in class. Her use of Incan quipu may be useful in considering the context of your work, as it develops in an environment-- and Kassie, it uses llama!)
