This blog belongs to the Art In The Everyday course at Eastern Connecticut State University which explores everyday life experience through various frames of reference, including: sound, ephemeral sculpture, movement and community building.
Each group in the class began by posting a photograph of a potential "monument" site here in Willimantic, CT. Comments about the place accompanied these preliminary images. Then, each group's proposed temporal monument was performed/ made/ constructed, on or around April 8. Results posted to the left.
