So, the days unfold and the ideas begin to snowball...
Aleks opens the morning with a creatively stimulating game named "Brute Think!"
Participants were asked to randomly draw 2 words from an envelope. The task was to create a relevance between these two words in a sentence structure.
The afternoon was followed with a CRIT Session.
Participants are each given 20 minutes to present a piece of their work and receive open criticism from the rest of the group.
A session consists of:
-a description of the artists process and intentions for this particular work
-a discussion of the skills and practices utilized
-open questions
-free associative comments & observations
The purpose of the CRIT Sessions is best understood in 3 points:
/Describe
/Interpret
/Judge
Receiving a variety of descriptions from individual participants provides as a means to expand the free association process. Allowing a flow of interpretations around the room opened doors for discussions and new points of view.
Running along the lines of the theme "It's not good enough," we refrained from reaching the Judge step, because...well.....it just wouldn't be good enough.
