Week 3
Lab/Research Day
Screening Assignment #1 Due:
10x10 Harrison and Wood
Compose a one-page 12pt. double-spaced review of each video. Be advised that you will need to research the artist and this particular work to have a full understanding if its context and its importance. (For example: one video may have been shown on a TV inside a dark closet, another projected onto trees, or consist of non-American cultural rituals, however you will not know that by watching it on your computer monitor.) It is not acceptable to merely form your opinions in a void. In order to get all points available for these assignments, you must contextualize the work and how it was meant to be viewed, therefore generating a broader understanding and response to the work that I have exposed you to. Please use academic language.
Screen each short video and discuss how it applies to the notion of Found/Constructed Space. How would you typify these artists? What are their primary concerns?
