SITE:LAB is an all-volunteer, artist-led intiative that temporarily
takes over abandoned spaces to create site specific exhibitions and is
an ArtPrize Satellite Venue. Note: there is no running water at this
venue. Buses are welcome to park on site and the building will close
after your tour ends. ESSENTIAL QUESTION How do life experiences
influence the way you relate to art? How does learning about art
impact how we perceive the world? What can we learn from our responses
to art?
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This is a two-part experience with a workshop followed by an optional
guided tour. With educators as guides, students will reflect on two
SiTE:LAB pieces and then engage in discussions focused on how the
method of display, location, and experience of an artwork influences
how it is perceived and valued. Students will write their own
place-based personal narratives guided by a mini-workshop that will
illuminate the elements of narrative, giving particular emphasis to
place and its impact on the artist. Student stories may be printed and
displayed as part of the Creative Youth Center's ArtPrize entry. After
the program, we invite you to join a SiTE:LAB curator on an optional
guided tour of the space.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITY
How might written narrative be reimagined as visual art? Does place
play the same role in this new, more visual version? After creating
our own place-based narrative, has your perception/understanding of
the SiTE:LAB artwork changed?
