DIY IDEA -- FIGURE DRAWING???

Is anyone else into this?
We could do this this Summer, on the east side, at one of our apartments or in a room in List if we can get permission.
We can probably pay a model... the more of us who participate, the cheaper it will be for each of us.
Or we can get our friends / take turns modeling.

LET ME KNOW.............................................
because I am pretty serious about figure drawing

Festival of Ideas, May 4-8

Check out the ideas, spaces, performances, etc, showcased during the Festival of Ideas this weekend in NYC.  The list of participants may give you leads on venues, collaboratives, and other artists to check out.

The mission:
"The Festival of Ideas for the New City, May 4-8, 2011, is a major new collaborative initiative in New York involving scores of Downtown organizations, from universities to arts institutions and community groups, working together to effect change. A first for New York, the Festival will harness the power of the creative community to imagine the future city and explore the ideas destined to shape it. It will take place in multiple venues Downtown and is organized around three central programs: a conference of symposia; an innovative StreetFest along the Bowery; and over one hundred independent projects and public events. The Festival will serve as a platform for artists, writers, architects, engineers, designers, urban farmers, planners, and thought leaders to exchange ideas, propose solutions, and invite the public to participate."

"How to Sneak Into a Museum" Submission Deadline

APRIL 30th
HOW TO SNEAK INTO A MUSEUM
Artist Peter Coffin and the Suburban Gallery, Chicago are working on a forthcoming book project called: "How to Sneak into a Museum."
You are cordially invited to share with us, in the form of instructional drawings your method of how to sneak into an art museum without paying.
The best submissions for the book thus far include floor plan drawings that indicate where a person must go to enter the museum while avoiding to pay. The “instructions” should not require doctored documents such as fake passes, fake uniforms/badges, etc and should be relatively easy to understand so that one could sneak into the institution without paying using your instructions. The drawings should also indicate where one would ordinarily have to pay to enter and how to avoid this. Include street entrances, descriptive markers... anything to make the drawing effective and easy to use. We recommend looking at examples on this site: www.artfagcity.com/2009/07/23/sneak-into-a-museum-with-peter-coffin/
If you would like to submit a plan, please follow these instructions:
- HAND DRAW it on 8 1/2 x 11 white paper in black pen/or pencil
- Include the museum’s name + city on the drawing
- DO NOT WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE DRAWING
- Scan it on gray scale @ 300 DPI
- Name your digital file with your name + museum’s name (e.g.: GuerinMagalie_MoMA.jpg)
- Send to Magalie Guerin, magalieguerin@gmail.com at the Suburban.

We are hoping for a variety of content without repeated museums. Therefore, in the interest of the book, not all submitted drawings will be published. The names (or pseudonyms– your choice!) of the selected participants will be included in the credits of the book. All accepted participants will of course receive a copy of the book so please make sure to send your contact info/ mailing address with the file.
Feel free to forward this to any sneaky museum-going pals anywhere, especially outside the US as this is for any art museum across the globe.

VISA1800p Blogging Begins Now!

Hello all -
This is the place where we can share important links and discoveries over the course of the semester.  Hopefully it will be a great repository of information and a site you can refer to even after the course is over.  I'm trying to make things simple (I even chose the template labeled 'simple'), but let me know if you have suggestions on how to improve the blog's efficacy.
Happy posting.
