A Sponge for Curiouser

A Sponge for Curiouser, VCUarts’ 2010 joint meeting of SECAC and MACAA

Other Pedagogies and the Phlyum Porifera

This inaugural one-day Sponge workshop and follow-up panel welcomed participants from Curiouser, the 2010 joint MACAA and SECAC conference at VCUarts. Sponge participants engaged with artist-thinker-researchers that are reinventing school, classes and knowledge transfer. And since discipline-bending and biological metaphor are encoded in the Sponge project itself, we heard from two biologists who study this porous phylum and we’ll travel to a sponge research lab at the University of Richmond to see our model creatures up close.

The HQ was thrilled to welcome visiting-participants from the fields of art, digital media, education and biology. For the full scoop, please visit: spongespace.net

Farm to School Sponge at MECA, June 2010

Directed by Adriane Herman, artist and printmaker extraordinaire, the felt rugs that were made during the Farm to School Sponge this past June were screen printed with all of the participants’ topics. The two rugs have found homes at the sites of the workshop: the MECA MFA headquarters and R’s Farm (belonging to Rhoda Herrick) in Maine.
