During our final class, these amazing students/artists/thinkers composed shrines that are non-linear narratives about what they imagined inside the abandoned building and...what Nathan revealed to them as the actuality of the interior. Many Thanks to Bill Brovold who built these gorgeous boxes and to Maggy Rozycki Hiltner for found object contributions!Thursday, May 13, 2010
SHRINES
During our final class, these amazing students/artists/thinkers composed shrines that are non-linear narratives about what they imagined inside the abandoned building and...what Nathan revealed to them as the actuality of the interior.

Nathan's presentation really changed the character of the building and the project as a whole for the class. Their entry point was sort of "Scooby Doo"-esque--they imagined a haunted spooky space--but the presentation made them think about the actual inhabitant, a real person who left odd and specific traces. This was a great way to lead into the shrine stage of the project. Their Poe poem cutups and drawings survive as echoes of those earlier, more innocent impressions alongside the fantastical and boldly specific shrine boxes, which show a much broader (and deeper) range of takes on the stories the building has to tell.
