1st class of the semester - The Paradigm of Collecting - so the first half of the day was introductions....but then we took a field trip to the Roger Brown Study Collection, which was donated to the school by Brown, who was a former student. My professor is AMAZING! Jerry Bleem. He's this really excitable, socially awkward nerd, with tape on his glasses and loafers! He gets really into specifics.
Its a studio and theory course - so part of the day is lectures, discussions and presentations, and part is work time. Anthropological perspectives of collecting (amassing, hoarding.....) material objects, thoughts, etc. as well as theories on the practice of "legitimate" collecting, (methodologies of organization) and how these perspectives and practices can be applied to our studio practice - with tons of field trips to flea markets and artist collections and hoarders homes etc! sooooo excited!!!!!!
