- 4. OBSERVATIONS AND QUESTIONS KT: Lots of references to artistic homes, religion, personal details and such. Janel: This will not be traditional Asian art. Seth: These artists are intending to touch on topics similar to Reyes…but we’ll see it from a new perspective. Chess: There’s a question about how adrift these topics are from “cultural centers.” . . JJ: Are there Cultural Social norms. Khiri: How do these pieces undo the fabrications portrayed by history? Dolfo: Relationship between storytelling and history writing? .
- 5. OBSERVATIONS AND QUESTIONS Similar to Reyes’ ideas, but through other mediums. Like social/global issues . Trying to remove the idea of boundaries. No biased perspectives on history. No more social constructs! . Controversial perspectives about western versions of world history. SITE SPECIFICITY .What era of history are they working with? . How long ago was this planned? What forms are art and techniques are we gonna see? .
- 7. THE SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION Solomon R. Guggenheim was a wealthy businessman who earned much of his fortune from the Yukon Gold Company in Alaska. His Foundation for visual art was founded in 1937, and its first New York–based venue for the display of art, the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, opened in 1939. At the time they were known for their somewhat eccentric art collection, featuring many great works by Vasily Kandinsky, The need for a permanent building to house Guggenheim’s art collection became evident in the early 1940s, and in 1943 renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright gained the commission to design a museum in New York City. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum opened on October 21, 1959…despite many petitions against it.

- 19. Site Specific Commissions • KT: Whatever you can imagine in the space…the work has to “fit” the space. • Chess: “I want you to make a piece with some requirements and it has to be HERE (in a given location) and relate to the surrounding area. • Janel: There’s going to be a lot of challenges to this..knowing WHAT to make can be tricky with this. • Gio: Like Doomocracy, it’s specific to our time’s social and political issues. • . • . . TALES OF OUR TIME (TOOT) IS 100%
- 20. Site Specific Commissions • Cailan: Asking an artist to do a piece of work in a specific place • Tash: Commissions are when artists get paid to do things…so this is like being paid to do something in a specific location.

- 31. What about our School? Our building? Our neighborhood? What are the spaces that seem to crave artwork being placed in them? • The “Honeycombs” on the ceiling. They have potential for site specific work. • KT: The giant cube in the front. The MLK cube. • Chess: the stairways, they’re so bleak. • Raian: The windows, there’s potential to show a HUGE picture on them. Other buildings can’t do that. • Anna: the terrace(s) have potential for….ART! • Anna: Lincoln center has a lot of site specific art…it wouldn’t look “good” in a different place. .

It’s so drab and dark…we wanna give it some color. (Cor-Ten Steel) and the lunch room. • Anesia: The stairs leading up to the terrace. • Camila: the interior hallways. • Tash: The lobby…. • Michelle: Boring classrooms….we gotta spruce it up. • Anesia: Our school has plants around the windows. • Jess: I love the windows. They’ open up the space and bring light in. .
