OUT!

I just made the blog for Montréal 2008 while sitting here in MTL'07 on de l'Esplanade.

That means were done.


SIGH.

Thanks for a great summer.

A Place for Carl

Carl, another grad student from Manitoba, and the one they call the fixer, is coming to town for a few days. He needs a place to stay- a couch will do- while he does work for Pat and Peter on another installation and he trouble shoots the one you all worked on. I'll post Carl's studio project for Pat, which was the spatialization of an accordion. He took an accordion apart and spread out the parts until they were an enclosure. The explanation goes on from there but you can see it for yourself as soon as Pat sends me THIS LINK.

If you can offer a place for Carl for a couple of days this weekend please let me know via email.

Readings Page is BACK!!!

I know you all missed it so much! The readings page is on-line and ready to go. If you find a broken or missing link please report it to me (Brian) via email immediately.

The link is at the bottom of the first category to the right or you can click HERE.

Updates

I've updated the Academic Calendar to reflect when we expect to be available in the studio and I've noted the Vernissage tomorrow night. Pat sounds excited about the pavilion now. It came together very well. I've also made some key updates to the studio web page too.

Availability on Sunday

It is 15:00h on Sunday. Pat and Peter need your help today finalizing the structure. Kerenza, Marti, and I are available now to look at any work you have for discussion and criticism. We'll all be here until at least 18:00h.

MEET ME AT THE BIOSPHERE!

Ah Canada! I have been awoken to Chainsaws in my front yard and Expo on the radio. Check out the camera above. It's a beautiful day for an Expo visit.

Meet in front of Biosphere at 9:30h.

GO!

If something is not clear about this scheduling, respond immediately.

This work with Pat will be very performative- all about making. You must do only things that are well crafted and professional. You all know what these standards are. If someone on your team doesn't think that your work is showing precise craft assume it's not. All of this work will be incredibly public.. This in a place that supports something like ARTEFACT. You're part of this. Make well. It has to work- fully, operationally.
