In this class students will learn about the different metal leafs available: real gold leaf, silver leaf, composition gold leaf and variegated composition gold leaf and the tools used to gold leaf. Second, the class would learn about sizing, brushes, and how to apply the gold leaf on the chosen surface. To conclude the class, different sealers with be discussed. The teacher will provide materials, students will need to bring in an object to gold leaf. There will also be a $15 materials fee payable to Sara Simon.
Comment la création artistique (contemporaine) peut-t-elle porter une lecture radicalisée des études culturelles ? Comment ces études sont elles remises en jeu dans l'espace de l'art et en particulier quand celui-ci n'utilise pas le langage ?

Présentation de The Public School par son co-fondateur Sean Dockray.
Ce cours sera l'occasion de revenir sur les enjeux du projet de The Public School ainsi que sur différentes approches du partage de connaissances, de pratiques et d'expériences vécues depuis son ouverture.
Ce cours réunira également le groupe de discussion (voir "à propos" sur ce site) qui suit l'organisation des propositions données dans le cadre de l'École Publique.
A class which could loosely be defined as being about "cultural modes and codes in music production" or "scrambled narratives in psycho-acoustic fictional space". Specifically filtered through the spectral crypto-logical looking glass of the "inexplicable recording techniques, drug fueled irrationality and inherently abusive personality" (1) of post-punk record producer Martin Hannett (Joy Division, ESG, Magazine, The Durutti Column, Happy Mondays).
A friend sent me the below today (thanks Jordan!). Very timely and relevant to our meeting this week!

I would like to know more about the importance of the Feminist movement in arts, and more precisely, on the European front. It's quite easy to read about brave moves of women artists like Judy Chicago, The Guerilla Girls and Lynda Bengalis who in the end managed to create a lasting influence in arts and society as a whole. My main question is: what happened at that time in Europe? Did that movement set off a spark here too? Who were the main artists involved in Europe and how is European Feminism different from the North American version? What is its influence today?
