We have two classes coming up at Trade School. Please forward these
invites to potential students - thanks!
*****This Friday, April 8th, 8pm to 9:30pm*****
A free class for aspiring BioArtists, co-taught by Brandon Balleng�e and
members of Nsumi Collective.
BioArt 101: Mutant Research Methods with Brandon Balleng�e
Drawing from both scientific practice and contemporary art, Ballengee and
Nsumi members will conduct an interactive workshop for aspiring scientists
and BioArtists. The workshop will cover experimental research methods as
well as techniques for founding independent student-led science clubs.
This is one in a series of events focusing on DIY learning tactics for
students at broken, underfunded, or dysfunctional schools. This event is
geared towards current NYC high school students, but teachers, bioartists,
ecological artists and college students may also participate.

*****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.
