Assignment 5 - April 22nd - Topsy-turvy!

Assignment 5 - Topsy-turvy! In your space, rearrange all your furniture so that it no longer serves its intended function. You may have to flip over, tilt, or lay items on their side to achieve these results. Go about the rest of your day in this space. Eat, read, do homework for other classes, take a nap. Document your new installation and your experience and share it to the class blog in three or more pictures or one video. In three or more sentences, describe your experience reacting to your furniture rearrangement. Describing moments of feeling uncomfortable, consider the value of furniture and how it helps you. What would it be like to have no furniture at all? When your furniture became repositioned, did it take on new uses it previously did not? Did you interact with it in new ways? How so?

Also: Reply to at least two of your peer's Clothing Loaf posts from last week's assignment in the class blog comments. What stood out to you? Why?

This assignment is Due Wednesday, April 29th by 6:59pm EST. Please post to the class blog by this date and time to account for your class attendance.

One of the most important art works and myths in modern art, the inspiration for many installation artists, and still one of the most well known and published works by Kurt Schwitters (1887–1948), the Merzbau, in fact, no longer exists. It was destroyed in a British air raid in October 1943 in Hannover. By 1937, when Schwitters left his hometown to follow his son into exile in Oslo, the Merzbau comprised a total of eight rooms in his house at 5 Waldhausenstraße in Hannover. Most of the surviving photographs seem to have been taken in the space of the ‘Merzbau proper’ (‘eigentlicher Merzbau’), in which Schwitters is known to have begun working at the beginning of 1927. Three photographs taken by Wilhelm Redemann in 1933 show the most detailed and complete overview of this main room.


... a state of utter confusion.
