3/7 Wednesday Lecture
Peter Lang - Industrial Archaeology
New England has several very old factory buildings that have been converted into modern art museums. One is made of shipping containers on an old abandoned pier that form a magnificent space inside.
In Italy there are also several spaces that have been converted to meet modern day needs, some museums and some for public use. For some reason, old factory spaces are very interesting for art fabrication and display because of the large, open spaces they offer and the genuine aesthetic of the building.

2/29 Wednesday Lecture
Jasmine Benyamin - Contingent
People escape from the normal way things were by using several different devices, through advertising, architecture and land art. Smithson did several "non-site" projects that are not useful for consumerism that are representations of the actual site. Spiral jetty project is constantly changing depending on the water level at any particular time and may be either revealed or hidden. Decided to use the natural decay of materials as an interesting design tool. Project by German designer, Hess, is an example of non-art in a kind of response to Smithson, strange collection of strips of thin material. The Igualada Cemetery is another experiment with materials in embracing their nature instead of forcing them to be something that they aren't.
