No Gods No masters (no artists).... by Lisa Marie Johnston

Not considering this as a Ma show statement would be a good start! everything can still be discussed, considered and included if more ideas pop up along the way.This is taking from different views and imputs of the class.

also not everyone (students) that want or should be involved has known or participated in meetings so numbers need to be finalised.. I dont have everyones email involved so cath I just found this email list can you add on and forward thanks.......


'The city is a dynamic system in constant change,in which the built tissue is metabolized in various forms through processes that are the opposite of degradation, maintence, metabolization, transformation, upgrading, improvement, overgrowth and replacement,degraded urban territories allows for flexibility, vacant, accessibility,transformation of an open structure in the city' taken from janez kozeli essay'
Devalued spaces in the city

and also as artist Jay koh has discussed in his work among all of these things there is also the 'construction of self (work) within the construction of city'.

Looking at open space , inbetween space, disused carparks, alleyways, industrial units, shops to let, school(red tape and content to be considered) gallery option? utilizes all aspects of form and medium that is cross disciplinary and suits the large amount of people involved allows a context in which to show larger works as well as writing or participatory/ collaborative practice.

ideas and themes of inbetween, Interim, Terrain, porn ? Titles can consider intellect, sexy/fun or shock value? is a name important/ allow the curator to develope this? , do we co-curate or liase? Do we use/ offer the full amount available or do we use some of money for publicity, acessibility, web, catalogue?It was suggested to me later by artist/curators that the money on offer is very good and we could hold some back for other necessities-mentioned above.

idea of artist/curator crossover might be cheaper and may suit the work as a more organic process than a 2day cutorial. sugestions: curators maybe were already squattin/swatting at ncad, already dublin based , doin phd, using the library etc...

By the way my name is spelt "Cian". I don't want any confusion... I mean I might not even realise it's me and think there is someone else in the class called "Keane"... or maybe even that whiny rock trio have volunteered to lend a hand with our web efforts. You never know.
