Mark Bvk asked me to forward this; for more information, contact him directly : <[log in to unmask]> Hi everyone, Here's a great opportunity to create art installations in a very interesting public site with a captive audience to talk about it! The only catch is that I'm teaching it. It's free and I want to pack the class with innovators like yourselves. Please sign up soon if it sounds good to you. I think they're limiting the class to 12 artists! Yours lovingly, Mark Brest van Kempen SUNNYSIDE CONSERVATORY SPRING ART CLASS SERIES List of Classes, Spring 2001 URBAN LANDSCAPES Special Masters Class for Artists (Participants should have B.F.A or M.F.A. level studio experience or the equivalent.) Instructor: Mark Brest van Kempen This class provides a rare opportunity for artists to create public site specific work in the unique environment of Sunnyside Conservatory. From its interesting architectural elements to its historical associations with colonialism and the Victorian interest in the exotic, the Conservatory provides a rich context for artists to respond with site specific work. The first meeting will be a slide-illustrated artist's talk graciously hosted on Wednesday evening by Bird and Beckett Books and Records in Glen Park (on Diamond @ Chenery). The second meeting on the following Sunday will be held in the Conservatory. Mark Brest van Kempen has created a variety of artworks using the landscape itself as sculptural material. He received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and has been an artist-in-residence at Marin Headlands Center for the Arts. His work has been presented in many publications including Time Magazine, The New York Times, LA Times and Lucy Lippardís newest book, The Lure of the Local. He has spoken around the country and abroad on the possibilities of creating artwork that functions outside the museum /gallery context and that brings aesthetic and symbolic meaning to everyday situations. He has recently taught at the San Francisco Art Institute and Stanford University. Wednesday, March 28, 7-9 p.m. and Sunday, April 1, 1-4 p.m. LIST WEBSITE ADDRESS AND HOW TO REGISTER....
