Hey Everybody, here is a recap to stuff that we talked about last meeting, which I have finally posted. we had a lot to cover and it was rather difficult because everyone had holiday stuff.. so all of this info still needs to be gone over with everybody democratically, if that is the political system we are going for anyways.
I suggest that we have a meeeting to finalize stuff before school starts. What day does everyone return? Could it work to have a meeting on the 4th or so? Reply to this post and let us all know.
Reading:
It was determined that 60 pages a week was reasonable for the group reading. This can be further discussed though.
Books that are to be read thoroughly:
Poetics of Space- Bachelard (get this soon- reading for week 1)
Art& Artifact- James Putnam (get this soon- reading for week 1)
Art Objects-Jeanette Winterson (seminaring on text week 6+7)
excerpts:
Image, Music Text-Barthes (seminar week 6+7)
On Longing- Susan Stewart (seminar week 8+9)
Madonna of the Future-Danto (t.b.d)
Air Guitar-Hickey (t.b.d)
Potential Schedule for the Week:
MONDAYS: all w.f.s meeting (this is the time when decisions for the rest of the week get finalized so everyone needs to be there) Reading Seminar afterwards.
WEDNESDAYS/FRIDAYS: critique. Depends on faculty's availablility. E-mail your faculty!
THURSDAY/FRIDAY EVENING: Event fun. Hopefully Vanessa can hook us up with film viewings at the Grand Ol' Olympia Film Society's Capitol Theatre.
SCHEDULE for WEEK 1 + 2
Week 1: ALL GROUP MEETING: Powerpoint presentations, finalize and sign covenant. Decide what Event will be+ other items of necessity
SEMINAR: Introduction and Chapter 1 of Art and Artifact, 1 Chapter of Poetics of Space.
Week 2: ALL GROUP MEETING: Decide what Event will be + other items of necessity
SEMINAR: Chapter 2 Art and Artifact, Chapter 2 Poetics of Space, Selected Excerpt (to be determined)
We need to further discuss the concrete reading schedule. But this is a headstart for reading. If anyone doesn't want to purchase Art and Artifact, you can photocopy it from me during the break. Just let me know.
Fundraising: Bakesales! 5 times during the quarter in the Cab. We decided a day. I can't remember which one though. Once we have enough start-up capital- let's have a SECRET CAFE! that's good moneys and we all love food too. Also people sell your stuff on etsy.com. We can fundraise as a group or do it independently. The goal is 1,000. that is 100$ per person which is not so bad spread throughout 9 weeks if you think about it.
ye gads I don't want to do this note taking thing anymore. Anyone else want to take the reigns? someone with more legible handwriting? Ryan Hudgins? hmm?
love

I'm down for note-taking in the future. I usually do it on my computer, too, so handwriting is no barrier! I'm getting excited for this business to get started!!
I can't meet the 4th since I fly into Seattle that afternoon. I could meet the 5th or 6th though
I'm back in town, so I can meet anytime other than Friday evenings.
Also, since I missed almost all of the December meetings, can someone fill me in on what the fundraising is for?
thanks
When are we meeting Week One?nqfeogp
