Rutgers has cancelled classes today. This is unfortunate but it gives you a chance to spend much needed time on your thesis exhibition and your written draft. You don't need a finished essay but we do need a draft of your thesis essay by March 12. Get it done today and you won't have to worry about it. Hand it in as soon as you have it done.
Last week we asked that everyone post images of their artwork on their blogs, as in too many cases we are still talking about ideas rather than things. This hasn't happened for everyone yet. In lieu of class today you must post these images on your blog by the end of today, no matter how incomplete. If you are still considering multiple options post all of them. This is a requirement. Students in Group 1 in particular need to have very clear plans on how they are going to complete their exhibitions. Remember, this work should be progressing in your advanced classes too.
We will have our planning meeting next Friday rather than today. In the meantime you can email me with any issues/problems with exhibition planning.

Class on Friday 26 Feb
We will be meeting back in 117 on Friday. Our focus will be on exhibition planning as we need to sort out both shows asap. So both exhibition planning groups will meet together initially. Please have an update on where all of the subgroups are and any issues that need to be resolved. We will not have critiques groups this week, though you can talk to us after the planning discussion. However, could you please post images of your work as it currently stands on your blog. As discussed last Friday, we are still requiring you to post after you have had a critique, and also for the rest of the critique group to comment on that post. These comments can be very brief, one or two sentences. Also don't neglect your written thesis, remember the draft is due on March 12.

Class Schedule Friday 2/19
Hi Everyone,
We will be meeting at the Livingston Art Building as a class this Friday 2/19. Everyone is expected to be there. Here’s a map of how to get there: http://maps.rutgers.edu/maps/default.aspx There should be parking available or you can take the Rutger’s bus.
We will meet as a group in the LAB gallery at 10am. Several of your classmates are exhibiting their work in the space and it will give you all a chance to conceive of the LAB gallery’s potential for your thesis exhibitions if you decide to exhibit there.
We will then break up into our exhibition planning groups and critique groups into various rooms in LAB. The rooms will be announced in the morning in the gallery.
Students who have studios or artwork at LAB should be prepared to present their work. Students who are scheduled to present their work next week should also transport their work to LAB. If you are supposed to present work in your crit group but are unable to transport it to LAB due to its size, you will have a crit next Friday instead.
I also want to remind you all that the List of Opportunities for Emerging Artists are due Friday. You should complete all the info as completely and accurately as possible. I will not be expanding on your research, only compiling the list for you all. I’ve pasted the directions below. Please email your lists to me as an attached doc file or in the body of the email. Do not put it in my mailbox or on your blog.
And yet another reminder: you should all be posting a response/reaction/summary of topics discussed in your critique after each crit you have. Viktor, Gerry, and I will be periodically reviewing these and they will contribute to a portion of your grade. They will also help you in keeping a record of ideas for the development of your work and your written thesis. Members of every critique group should be commenting on each other’s posts. Many of you have been doing this and they seem very helpful so far!
See you all Friday!
Best,
Megan
