Bedtime Story Conservatory 15 10/04/2020

Moi!

This is the 15th day of this project. I don't know how to kick off this email, my mind has felt empty today, so here is the first episode of Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' TV series from the 70's, it is beautiful-

Today's reading is the first 3 sections of Vito Acconci's Public Space in a Private Time 1990, an essay published in Critical Inquiry, Vol. 16, No. 4 (Summer, 1990). Acconci was an American artist, who began as a poet before producing photography, video and performance works, before moving on to architecture. He is famous for works such as 'Following Piece' (pictured below).

This reading is a stirring analysis of how we access time, and how we inhabit space.
