Invitation designed by yours truly

Last semester I (Fall 2008) was enrolled in a class called GroundUp. This class was a combination of students from a variety of disciplines including Design, Fine Arts, and Visual Critical Studies from California College of the Arts and Stanford. Our assignment was to create a participatory artist project as a part of the Art of Participation exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. As a class we decided it was best to provide the viewers with a realistic, inside view of collaborative projects which can be challenging. We staged a debate and had a great time! There were arguments, there were laughs and it honestly worked itself out right in front of, and involving the audience. We each became a caricature of ourselves. My role was the peacekeeper… so I dressed like a hippie.
