Not a very productive morning, but the afternoon went a bit more smoothly. The morning was spent reading online, mainly a review of the New Museum’s Surround Audience show on e-flux.
I went to Sharon Kivland’s C3RI seminar, which was an inspiring account of some very detailed and densely referenced work she has recently exhibited. The specificity of the historical references was a bit lost on me, as was a lot of the theory in the discussion afterwards, but it was good to get a sense of what the work is about and how it functions as an interrelated system of meaning in the gallery space.
The rest of the day was spent reading ITP course notes and working on the data reading system for the method conference. I have a show ‘n’ tell with the PhD cohort tomorrow, so had hoped to get it running a bit more smoothly. Seems that it needs rebuilding from the ground up.
