Cornelia Parker: exploding shed  
'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991) is composed of the ragged fragments of a garden shed, which was blown up by the British Army for the artist Cornelia Parker. It was a carefully orchestrated event that took place in the grounds of the School of Ammunition near Banbury.'

Simon Starling: 'Shedboatshed': the massive structure Shedboatshed (2005) was a looming presence in the gallery. Starling had discovered the shed upstream from the museum on the Rhine. The building had been cut up, its parts temporarily refashioned into a ‘Weidling’, a local type of boat. The boat had then been punted downstream, disassembled outside the museum, and the original shed reassembled in the gallery, though not made whole. Walking into its dingy space, with light pouring through awkward slits and gaps, gradually you could attribute its broken appearance to this double metamorphosis. The cuts in the walls corresponded to the contours of the former boat; the now redundant holes were where bolts had been holding the craft together.

From lecture (activities): 

- 'curating relationships'

- Material conditions ---------------->  discursive spaces

1.  locate a  disscussion that might arise from the shared experience of one of the above works (or a work spoken about in lecture, i.e. Ricardo, Kyong or Michael's.) Describe to the rest of the class what material conditions of the work inspired this choice, and host the conversation, bringing the room into coversation. 

2. Each decide upon a conversation or relationship you would like your own work (and more specifically work5) to catalyze. Explain this to the rest of us. 

Spend the rest of class time researching a work of public/ site-specific art to present on Wednesday.
