First Week Back in the New Year

I feel like art school did not do a very good job training me to be an audience. School taught me how to make work and how to think about making work. This week I was really appreciating the ways in which New Urban Arts encourages a studio dynamic where people fluidly switch back and forth between being an audience and being an author. Mentors are authors in their various disciplines, but each day they play audience to the students. Students are exploring their voices as authors, but are continually responding and taking in everyone else around them in the studio.

A great deal of listening and watching goes on, I like that.

Mr. Obama said he believed “the most important thing is for the United States to get engaged right away” and that he had told his envoy to “start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating.”
