I hope you are finding your smiles despite the shortening days 🙂 And I look forward to seeing you soon!
This year TLP is taking on an investigation of site specific, socially engaged art. We also plan to create some work of our own…more on that later!
The group is entering its 6th or year, or so, and participants have asked that we flex our schedule around some other events and meetings. Please note that we will NOT be meeting on the first Tuesdays of the month this year. We will continue to meet at the CVA at 965 Santa Fe Dr. at around 5:30 however the dates are independent of one another. A schedule follows below. I apologize if our new schedule creates conflicts for anyone.
We are also incorporating more exposure to contemporary artists by encouraging attendance to our Visiting Artist Scholar Designer (VASD) lectures this year. We have incorporated the public lecture series into our meeting schedule. Those talks will inform our intervention as well! The talks begin at 6 but we thought we could still gather at 5:30 for a snack and to catch up.
During our independent meetings we will be inspired by The Interventionists. This book, a Mass MoCA publication, will serve as our guiding text. It is short and powerful! There is a brief here: http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/interventionists . We will be reading it throughout the fall semester.
Here is our schedule:
- Tue 9/6 welcome at 5:30 at 6 pm move to gallery for Jane Guthridge presentation as part of Colorado Women in Abstraction.
- Wed 9/21 4:45 VASD Talk Brenden Tang
- Thur 10/27 5:30 VASD Talk Ladies of the Press
- Wed 11/16 5:30 Book Discussion
- Wed 12/14 5:30 content and connections to classroom
- Wed 1/11 5:30 Book Discussion and “Call to Action”
- Wed 2/15 5:30 Brainstorming and looking at action research and social action artists (potential date change)
- Wed 3/29 4:45 pm VASD Talk Golnar Adili
- Tues 4/4 5:30 VASD Talk Rachel Harper (potential date change)
- May Dinner Morgan Pruett’s Scramble Dinner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNpuYOdFHk
I will be migrating our Weebly to a new platform at the Universities request. I will send the new address then. In the meantime you can find out more about TLP here: http://theorylovespractice.weebly.com/
Also, please invite colleagues you think might enjoy being a part of the work we are doing!
