>>Project
As an introduction to considering space as media, and media within an expanded spatial context, you will construct a model of our Padnos Gallery, and create three scaled representations of experimental projects within that model. Initial sketches may be useful in this exercise, but are not necessary. You will be responsible for documentation of all of the speculative projects that you construct in your gallery model. The class will mount an exhibit of this work in the Padnos gallery during the week of October 6th.
