ALLISON MILLER
SAVE THE DATE:
THURSDAY MAY 20
7:00 pm Visual Arts Facility Performance Space


Allison Miller uses abstract drawing as a medium to convey various subjects that span the mundane, such as Ribbon (2006), to loftier concepts as seen in her works Transference (2008) or Future Optimism (2009). Each work fluidly fills the confines of the page with a certain spontaneity, enlivening her drawings in a manner which is most often akin to happenings or compositions by John Cage, or even the Situationist derive. Miller was born in Evanston, IL and lives and works in Los Angeles. She has exhibited widely and is represented by ACME in Los Angeles.

A Couple of THINGS..

For this week read Brakhage and bring questions. You may want to also start reading the Eno article, since we looked at a little bit of his work, it will help you to think about sound.

I want everyone to give me a concise 1-4 sentences about their project along with a production and post-production(editing) rough schedule outline by tonight (Monday May 17). Email is fine.

About your final video:

• DO NOT take cameras to the beach, it will kill them. Sand gets inside, no matter how careful you are, and kills the camera. The only way is if you have a housing the camera can be placed inside, and no, these are not available in the equipment room, and they are quite expensive. (do what you want with your own personal cameras)

• DO RESEARCH, you will not come up with a unique original idea, it will always be able to be contextualized by other work dealing with similar ideas. So do research around your idea to complexify it, your video should make us think.

• GET SHOOTING, don't delay. Bring a fair amount of footage to Lab this week so you can start messing around with all the crazy techniques I am going to show you.

• SCHEDULE,
