I have here a scrap of paper with notes from the first session. It reads as follows:
Bristol Uni? Drama Dept? Library?
Specialist audience, public... street...
site specific
avant garde
consumption of tourism
fashion of communication
art and its discontents
modern art i common culture
art and its messages
the culture of craft
art of the maker : skill and it'smeaning
text reader: natural readers.com 'Dragon' speach recognition to upload my thoughst. bursaries etc christian scott.
sign up to tate... (circus?)... performance... textiles...
interview people on their view of performance as an art form. ask profesionals (e.g. circus and dance) and public. ask if they would go to see live art
read the papers
popular performance vs art!
who are groundbreaking? (who cares?!)
what is classic?
is it art?
'creative industries' the book this unit's based on.
'study skills' uwe
the themes emerge. still the same ones. I found the drama library. Might go back sometime.. but first i have to find the notes i made and type them up!
ReplyDeleteI'd still be up for asking people - performers, gallery staff, public what they think of performance art.
