Trade School - it's almost over for this season.

32 Prince street between mulberry & Mott ----YOU ARE INVITED!
Intentional artist-run networks. Learn about the intersections of social
network theory, cybernetics, and art. We will only be inside for a 40 min
class and then walk around outside and trace a giant invisible network
among several art schools. Bring a fuzzy sweater as there will be a nip
in the air.

> *****April 15th, 6pm to 9:00pm*****
>
> A free class for art student leaders and activists, taught by Nsumi
> Collective.
>
> Inspired by recent discussions at the Ecoart Unconference on Emerging
> Systems at the School of
> Visual Arts, this two-hour participatory session will explore the possible
> benefits and features of a generative network of student-artists in New
> York City.
>
> For this class, we will take a walk among several downtown art schools,
> sharing stories and about
> these institutions and creating a podcast of the conversation. Prior to
> the walk, we will go over the basic concepts of social network analysis
> and systems thinking.
>
> This class challenges art students to re-consider their roles as
> traditional object-makers, while
> presenting a new model of creative exchange based on reciprocity and
> living systems.
