Presentation of Sound Artists

Here my suggestion on who is doing what and when ... Since the course is very small -- we might not cover all the artists listed below -- unless you were interested in presenting two ... Something to think about?


Depending on our class size, every student will be assigned an artist to present to the course. The presentation should give an overview of the persons artistic career and art making. Choose some pivotal points and works. Keep the presentation to 45 min. (depending on audio/visual examples it might be longer). Please make an appointment with me one week prior to your presentation to outline and discuss your presentation with me. Best would be to meet with me during my office hours on Wednesday 11-12.30pm.
