Seminar Group 1


Group 1 are hosting a game event with interactive pictionary followed by panel discussion based around the critical question "where do we draw the line?" between non-art and art. The group hopes to address the idea of how something actually becomes an art piece, it's 'transformation' if you like. This groups seminar component will deal with issues of this point of transformation between something that is just 'stuff' and something that has the character of 'art'. What is the difference? Is it necessary to distinguish that 'line'? The Pictionary event will be facilitated by performance artist Sasha Perfect.
There will also be a short talk around the subject of 'where do we draw the line?' by amanda coogan as an introduction to the exhibtion we are hoping to open up a discussion about the elements which form the basis of why we consider and understand something to be art. The game is a method of 'immersion' into a creative aesthetic.

Events:
Game Event: Pictionary

Every moment is a moment. Every moment has a certain request on us. The question is how we answer it.

Hello group 1. the other groups have created blogs solely for thier own interests (so you can add images, texts ect about what your particular event will be). This means i can link each groups blog to the main one. can someone in your group consider doing the same?
Thanks

Hi Guys found this little animation on youtube thought we all could do with our concepts being stretched that little bit further. Its amazing when you take off the blinkers what you can actually see. Enjoy.
