Their website (see the link list on the right-hand side of the screen) is also a great resource (and you can purchase a copy of "One Hundred Places in Washington").

Who wouldnt want to see work by a person named Alex??

I mean really, we need this field trip, field excursion? Does that sound too much like a vehicle? Anway look what I found its an amazing peice by Anish Kapoor that I will someday replicate. Promise. it's called Cloud Gate

Upcoming

Okay, so I'm addicted to the blog. I realize this is only my second time posting anything, but I look at it daily, transfixed by its beauty. Also, I keep updating the link list to include any place we go or talk about in class. Speaking of which, I'll also post a list of all the writing prompts/papers so you have them easily available.

As a trailer for one of the field trips we'll be taking (hopefully Friday), check out Alex Schweder (http://alexschweder.com/index.html) for his show at Suyama Space (http://www.suyamapetersondeguchi.com/art/). I realize they haven't updated their site yet, but it's there, really. In fact, here's a review from Adriana Grant (the first sentence talks about the smell of the show) http://www.seattleweekly.com/2007-02-14/arts/monday-2-19.php.

Alex is represented locally by Howard House (http://www.howardhouse.net/current/index.html).

More soon,

I'm IN!!

So, being the techno-idiot I am, I thought giving y'all the blog's address would be all it took. Not quite so:

To start you get an 'invitation' to blog from Marc Dombrosky. It's an e-mail that has a long string of letters and numbers and such that you have to click on, then go through a few steps to register, and then you get to BLOG--just like I'm doing now.

A note: Cornish e-mail filters bounced Marc's invitation to my junk mail. Maybe it'll do that to you, too. So there are glitches--I think in techno-lingo you call 'em 'bugs' in our system. But isn't that what all this is about: learning together? Hey, I feel like I learned something this afternoon.

More soon,

Kim

International District update

Yo Cascade neighborhood investigators. Our class has been scouting out the International District for the past two Fridays. We visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum www.wingluke.org, peeked into the lobby of the Bush Hotel (which is now an apartment building run by the Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation and Development Authority, http://www.scidpda.org/), looked at 1940s items from the old Higo Variety store (now a cool artisan gallery called Kobo, http://koboseattle.com/flash.html, which you might know from their Capitol Hill gallery next to Joe Bar), um, what else? Oh yeah, we climbed up the hill through the Danny Woo Community Gardens, where we paused among some rotting vegetables and wall inscriptions in several different Asian languages, to Kobe Terrace Park, http://www.seattle.gov/parks/parkspaces/kobeterrace.htm, which offers a great view of the neighborhood--and of I-5.

For details about what else we found--what we did later--how to time a pot of tea--and what students in Urban Adaptations are doing with these observations, you'll have to ask them...
