A Thought:

“How do you catalog the everyday, especially as the phenomena of the everyday is changing?”

Assignment #7: Catalog the Everyday

Watch this short of Theaster Gates on Art 21.

For those of you who are more comfortable staying inside, move around your home. Think of it as the collection of your life. Choose one object of all the objects that best encapsulates the way you see the world, take a picture of it, tell us why.

For those of you who are comfortable leaving your home, walk around your neighborhood. Take notice of the homes and businesses that make it up. Think about its changing, about “black space” and about the “void.” Identify a space or a void where change has occurred, take a picture, tell us why.

D O C U M E N T A T I O N > Send the picture of your object or of the void, write your explanation in the body of the email to friends@stoveworks.org
