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.
Temporal Monument Field Study
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.

The story begins on ground level, with footsteps. They are myriad, but do not compose a series. They weave places together. They are not localized; they spatialize.

For our monument we were thinking about doing a contrast of the different people living in Willamantic. One person would be dressed up as a student, another would be dressed as a homeless person, and another would be dressed up as a thug or drug dealer. However, this is just the basic of the idea, and I might be wrong and or my group might have chaged thieir minds.
ReplyDeleteWhat our original idea is basically what samantha just said....We're not trying to portray willimantic in any bad way by the use of homeless people or a thug quote un quote drug dealer. But this is willimantic it has these people and we're portraying them as such...face it willimanitc cannot hide the fact that two of these three types appear.
ReplyDeleteAmy and Samantha covered everything. We are doing these three types of people. We are doing the Eastern student because Eastern Connecticut State University holds Willimantic together, in a way.
ReplyDeletethis place was to tell us about all the different people in willimantic from our point of view. the girls kind of explained it all.
