Review the genealogy of arts and community engagement. What changed about your understanding of community-based arts after reviewing this genealogy? What questions emerged for you? What new connections became clear? Post your writing on our class blog.
One thing that changed my understanding of community based arts is in relation the Serra tilted wall project. There is an assumption that the artists is the director, the god, etc. and that they should have final say. However, in the project with Serra its made unequivocally clear that this is not true, as public arts should include the very consumers in their own creative process.
One thing that has been made clear to me is the difference between site and space. I now understand that sites are a useful tool, in comparison to places which have value and contextual meaning. However, with this in mind I am still struggling to put the terms into a real life context, as I do not understand what a place specific project would be, and how that would tie into community engagement.
Some questions that I had after reviewing the slideshow:
How does Art Util be time specific, but also maintain its impact after the time specific event is addressed?
I am curious as to how Guy Debord would react today, where we live in a world that is hyper saturated with advertisements and ploys to sell things
