next reading
The next reading will be two selections/chapters from Richard Sennett's The Craftsman:
"The Troubled Craftsman," and "The Hand".
Since these require me having physical copies made, we will begin these next week,
no reading this weekend. Just lots of art making.
Please check out Sennett's website to get a sense of who he is, as well as the context of the recent book.

Crit 9/27
As a inaugural exercise and because I'm finished already with my painting, I would like to have a brief critique on Monday 9/27 at 1:30 pm. Thanks in advance for all of your comments.

* RICHARD SENNETT
Monday, December 6, 6:00 p.m.
Columbus Auditorium, 280 S. Columbus Drive
Chiefly known for his elegant and scholarly writing, Richard Sennett deftly explores the disciplines of architecture, design, music, art, literature, history, and political and economic theory. Celebrated for his studies of social ties in cities, Sennett has produced more than a dozen books, including three novels, mostly on aspects of the urban experience and the interconnection between authority, modernism, and public life. In the 1970s Sennett co-founded the New York Institute for the Humanities at New York University, and since the mid-90s he has split his time between NYU and the London School of Economics. His books include The Fall of Public Man; Respect, In an Age of Inequality; The Culture of New Capitalism; and, most recently, The Craftsman. This presentation is supported in part by the William H. Bronson and Grayce Slovett Mitchell Lecture Series in the Departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects and Fiber and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
