DAY 4

CRIP exhibition (Flare Up):

Did you have a favorite piece?

Did you notice the building? Were there any ways that the art was in dialogue with the building? What do you think the building was originally? [A laundry wash house]

What is Crip identity? What is Crip time?

How is disability related to cultural power structures? Who decides what is able-bodied? What is normal?

How is this exhibition similar to the Soft Bodies exhibition? How is it different? Which of the two exhibitions is more "privileged"? How? Why? What do I mean by that question?

How does the JJJJJerome Ellis work about black slavery and the middle passage fit in with the rest of this exhibition? Are all minority groups the same? What are some things that all minority groups have in common?

/////////

Small room exhibition with the hanging costumes with 3D printed faces and gaming cards (Fan is the artist):

Compare this exhibition to the Holy Pop exhibition? Which one is art? Which one is something else? How? Why? What do these two exhibitions have in common? [transmutation]

What is the risk of incorporating material from pop culture into your art? How do you keep the pop culture associations and refractions from hijacking the goals and forces of the your own art? [Perhaps via transmutation: keep the energy of the pop references, but re-direct/re-inflect them.]
