Exploring Reed Arts Week

Great write-up. Now the question, I think, is who this is actually intended for. It's free and open to the public, but the language of those artsy reedies suggest that it's aimed at a much narrower, closer-to-home audience. Is this an experiment for the benefit of its own community or really intended to engage a larger audience, in Portland and beyond. Or both? I'm really asking.

That's a really good question-- one I was asking myself as I interviewed all the Reedies. Ultimately, I can't really say if I was sneaking into the center of a big inside joke, or if the student projects are really intended as a serious contribution to the contemporary art world. I would guess it's a little of both, though I'd like to hear what other people think about this.

I think sometimes students forget that there are certain ways of speaking that have no real currency outside of colleges. For example: "an exteriorialization of the interior: a marginalization of the skeleton into the skin." I'm not sure what that means, if anything. Inside out?

Also, in science you learn there's a name for that: exoskeleton. Whatever happened to distribution requirements?

all i have to say is, that face really fuckin creeps me out. o_O

Please wait...
