Dear RSC,
Trey and I have been working on a new way into the aesthetics conversation,
and we're really looking forward to working on/playing with these ideas this
weekend. For our activity to go swimmingly, everybody's got to do a little
bit of thinking and playing BEFORE the retreat. I know you're all
busy....but this will be worth it---we promise!
Here's the scoop:
Think a little bit about what 'aesthetics' means to you, in the way that you
do your personal work. Then, bring something to share with us that exhibits
something about your personal aesthetics. This could be ANYTHING---something
related to your primary artistic discipline, something scholarly you've
written on the subject, a 30-45 second performance you'd like to share with
us, a photograph or collection of photographs----or something completely
different. The idea is to think about the idea of aesthetics in a personally
meaningful way, and then turn that reflection into an artistic
representation that you can share with us. We'll be using this for an
exercise on Saturday morning.
Please take the time to do this. Everyone's thoughtful participation is
required for the subsequent activity and discussion to bear fruit.
Till this weekend,
Melanie
