    Bath Toy for Worm Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver Interrupting my conference coverage to try catching up some of the other stuff I’ve been doing. This piece of art by Florentijn Hofman is out in front of Worm (about which I’ve written quite a lot already). I love the duck, but also I was interested to…

    After my talk at De Geuzen, I wandered around downtown a bit and then had dinner with Florian at a cheap but good Roti place near Piet Zwart’s new location in the Kareldormanhoff. We are still trying to think about how to do a joint MA, but it’s proving much tougher than I originally expected.…

    So, last term got completely crazy toward the end. In addition to the stuff I usually might have to do–teach, direct the comp. program, do a little research and writing–I also have been trying to write some grant proposals, organize a conference, and chair a search committee. Oh yeah, and I had to do a…

    I met quite a few Americans while in the Netherlands; that by itself isn’t so surprising but I was startled at how many were from Californian universities, mostly the UC. At New Network Theory, Alan Liu from UC Santa Barbara spoke, and Ramesh Srinivasan from UCLA (discussed in my last post), and Warren Sack from…

    In the last couple of months I have enjoyed meeting a host of really interesting scholars and artists. I’ve written about those I was seeing or meeting in an official way–keynote speakers, panelists, interviewees, etc. But, I also met quite a few people in a more casual way who are also doing research and or…

    I realized that while I’ve written quite a bit about the Piet Zwart first year and graduation shows, and have mentioned them in connection with Worm, but I haven’t said that much about what this school is or what my connection is. I’ll warn you now that if my last post about Worm was alarmingly…

    Worm invadedOriginally uploaded by cuuixsilver Not caring so much about Worm’s status, being more focused on it’s principles and goals seems to account for some of the biggest differences between this group and many of the others. For example, unlike V2, which is explicitly disinterested in having students trooping through, Worm has carried out what…

    Now I will also finally finish writing about my meeting with Hajo, which I only half-covered before it was time for me to leave the Netherlands, and I’m anxious to get it all down. –I’m sure at least a few other people will write about the conferences I attended, but I’m the only one who…

    Makedo project 1Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver Another cool project from the Piet Zwart students, this time from the first year show. This phone has on the first eight options statements from each artist in the first-year show, and then on the ninth, a chance for visitors to leave a message commenting. It’s a really cool…
