Getting ready for first lecture (taught by me!!)

In Studio Practices II, the Professor Nina and I discussed the possibility of me having total control over an assignment.  The assignment: One Minute Performance!!  I am excited, anxious and a little scared.  At least I know the students are great people and they won't tape me to the wall and torture me.  I have selected a number of artists to talk about and show the students.  Artists like: Yoko Ono, Wafaa Bilal, Ana Mendieta, William Pope. L. , Berry Le Va ( who doesn't really make performance pieces, but the body's absence is always made present, also I find his Impact Run Energy Drain from the 1960's really interesting.  And Finally, Joseph Beuys.  Look Familiar Brian?  It should, I learned about all these artists from your classes and how could I forget Wafaa Bilal?  I still have the handout from the  I Don't Know Their Names piece he made at Linfield College.  Anyway, the lecture will be given on Nov. 20th so wish me luck!
