teepee help wanted

wanted: hardworking and inventive and skilled people to help complete the teepee from space structure from the workshop with matt bua.  

nick solomon has agreed to project manage the completion of the structure, which may include: 

-adding to the structure  

-finishing out the last side where we ran out of time and wood  

-getting wood from the construction people or other places  

-getting other cool things to integrate into the piece, such as but not limited to: more windows and or a door, parts of old furniture, plumbing? tvs? landscaping plants? interior decor- wallpaper, furniture, knicknacks?  

-painting - could be a fun opportunity for painters  

-art for the interior walls? it could be a gallery?  

-open to additional suggestions  

if you'd like to work more on the structure (the weather is great, what could be more fun) please contact nick at nickse30@gmail.com and/or deborah at daschheim@rwu.edu to coordinate tasks, schedules, and so we can organize tool checkout with tony. 

nick and i don't need to be present for you to work on the structure, but i'd like one of us to know what you're planning to do. if you are in an aschheim class, you can get extra credit for work on the piece (please document) and if you are enrolled in another art class, nick and i will be happy to tell you professor about your contribution and maybe they will give you extra credit too.

Pictures worth a thousand words............

the time has come the walrus said to talk of many things

hi guys

well, we only have 2 more weeks of installation!  here's some stuff we should be working on/thinking about:

1. there are still a lot of mushrooms in the materials lab!  please take some and distribute/document

2. i need to give jordan the sound files to post from the listening tour, haven't forgotten and sorry it is taking so long

3. i think it would be great if people wanted to keep working on the tp from space we made with matt.  i think we could get more wood from the construction guys and finish the outside of the chicken wire side...also, we could invite other classes to work on it, like maybe painters would like to paint on it , what do you think

4. little houses: did you do them?  where are they located? 

5. croquet project

ok, so as we talked about, everyone should make one wicket.  please select the milestone that most interest you and have your wicket finished by class on thurs. i can only remember 6 milestones, can you guys post the other ones?

-zygote

-birth

-school

-lose virginity

-hs graduation

-college graduation

also, this is really important, someone needs to locate a croquet set.  i found a really old one for $25 on craigs list, otherwise they are expensive (like $70) new.  lauren, do you have one we can use for sure?

-dont forget to wear red and white or black and white so we look like cards

6. we need to install the eavesdrop curtain

7 . finally, we need to figure out the last project and our celebration dinner.

and finally finally, i need 6-10 good images of works we've done in this class to share with the other arts faculty.  can you guys email or bring me good images of your small group projects (library piece, commons piece, poster piece) and any other good pics from the class?  that would be great.  also next week i will give you guidelines for self evaluations, which is the collaborative process you and i will use to evaluate your work this semester in order to put a letter on it.

ok, please post back to keep this project moving forward and i hope you are all enjoying the awesome weather!

help wanted

hey guys

i need someone to review beeper cards with me.  it's pretty easy- they just show me cards and write down what i remember, but they have to be sort of organized and responsible and have decent handwriting.

also, the person for this job can't be a student in one of my classes or someone i know really well.  it's a great job for a psych major because it is based on a psychology experiment from the 1980's.  

if you know anyone who might want to help me, have them get in touch with me at info@deborahaschheim.com.  it's 2 or 3 hours of work at $10/hr, and ideally we'd do it next week or the week after

thanks

Where dey at

Here's where I put my 5 mushrooms:

The first one is in the school of business.....room 206. It's not really about the space being dysfunctional, but I had the most nonsensical meeting out of my entire four years here in this room. I can't actually disclose the details because the meeting was "confidential" but I was the only student on the board (with a bunch of faculty and staff) to decide who would receive the Excellence in Teaching Award.

This one (and the next one) are things we've talked about in class. This one represents one of the first classes, when we talked to DJ about the gallery space. He mentioned that it wasn't planned out for showing art, but focused on exhibiting architecture models, which is kind of silly seeing as it's the School of Architecture, ART, and HISTORIC PRESERVATION.


This one is next to the B&N bookstore sign because we talked about name brands invading places that were once private or local. Our bookstore wasn't always Barnes & Noble, and I think it was interesting to talk about how oblivious we've become to commercialization.

I put one above the laser cutter because it's a weird secret cult where they don't want too many people knowing how to use it.


This one is in Health Services. More of a personal pet peeve, but they don't automatically enroll commuter students for health insurance. You only are if you live on campus.

Invasion of the Tiny Mushrooms!!

So these are my tiny mushrooms. I only did 4 because as I was doing them the 5th one broke in my bag...

I warn you all now...all the places I thought didnt make sense also have attatched to them personal grudges that make me believe that...lol!

Ok, so the first tiny shroom is on the corner of the banister in the MNS lobby and this place doesnt make sense because it was where they told me and Lauren D that we could not put our poster because regulations said they could not have loose un-glassed paper or things obstructing the lobby...and then 2 weeks later there was a display of paper posters on easels all over the middle of that lobby...talk about your convenient school policy...

Second tiny shroom is located on the second floor banister looking down into the space that I think doesnt make sense (I wanted to put it right on the desk but then I would have had to explain the project and I do not think they would have appreciated it)...but anyway this office was not only the office that rejected the Roger Williams/Samuel Adams drinking poster and allowed a different drinking poster throuhg a few week later, but it is also the fofice that I had to fight to get an adjustable bunk bed because the non adjustable one had me only 20 inches from the ceiling...The womans excuse for not giving me the adjustable bunk bed was "it will be the same height no matter what"....which its not because now insetad of sleeping in a coffin I can sit up in my bed and not bump my head...

I placed tiny shroom number 3 on the sign for the honors program outside of the honors lounge in Stonewall 4 because for a program that is supposed to represent an intelligent community they do a lot of stupid things and are really unorganized...I have stories but i wont put them here...

Last but not least is tiny shroom number 4 whihc i placed on the top edge of a studio desk wall. Often times a studio professor will aslo be teaching another current class. So naturally they have all of their projects line up on the same dates and, when in studio they will tell u that they "know u have a lot of work but please puit your heart and soul into studio work"...then in the other class they say they "know you have a lot fo work but please put your heart and soul into this other class"...So pretty much they give you lots of work, they know they gave u lots of work, and depending on what class they see you in they want your full attention on it...and the other project they assigned you...

yay tiny shrooms!
