DAY 12:

Initial impressions of Berlin?

How is it different than Paris? What historical differences might account for these affective differences?

---------------

ALMA ALLORO studio visit:

Initial impressions (of her, of her work)?
Any personal inspirations for your own work and practice?
She talked about a balance between restrictions and intuition in her practice. How might this apply to your own creative practice?

What did she mean by "craft"?
How were her quilts "new media"?

[The software she and her brother made is at dontlookback.run]

Daniel Buren (mirrors with half cubes)

What is the relationship between the Buren columns we saw in Paris and his work in this installation?

What were some ways in which this work took into consideration the particular space of the building (in other words, in what ways was it site-specific)?

What some ways in which this work took into consideration the viewer's own bodily presence within the space?

What is his work exploring?

Why the minimalist stripes? Why the minimalist colors? Why no complex patterns?

How is this work related to the Alma's work? How is it different?
