Title	Exploding Text II
Professor	Robert Holman
Schedule	Fr 11:00 am - 1:00 pm OLIN 102

Expanding on our work in the sister course, "Exploding Text: Poetry Performance," we now move towards full-tilt theatricalization of poetry texts, our own and others, not to be confined nor defined by any particular theater. Students develop the use of media other than the standard printed page for the transmission of poetry, including music, film and video, painting and sculpture, and the Net. We will spend time with Dada, Futurism, and Surrealism, and continue our hands-on study of Hiphop and Slam. You will find Mayakovsky, Artaud, O'Hara, and Sapphire on the reading list. In addition, we will delve into the Beats, reading Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kaufman and crew, with special attention to Michael McClure's play, The Beard. Visiting poets and performers will drop by class. There will be a group performance at the end of the semester.

Title	Major Conference: Video Strategies: Space Sound and the Moving Image
Professor	Leah Gilliam
Schedule	Mon 1:30 pm -4:30 pm STUDIO B

Space, Sound, and the Moving Image is intended to refine students' video production skills and give students a better understanding of installation as a medium for artistic expression. Participants in this course will use video (as well as other materials and media) to design and build real environments that are meant to be experienced spatially. We will pay particular attention to using sound and light to transform existing spaces into site-specific installations. We will also attempt to use video monitors, projections, closed-circuit systems and surveillance equipment in innovative ways, and consider how to design spaces using time-based media and interactive elements.
