AGRC: Fall Call For Bloggers

With the fall '07 semester gearing up it is time for the AGRC to petition interested students to consider participating as an active blogging member on this site. If you are interested in doing so email this site at artgroop@gamail.com. The ultimate goal for this site is to have it become self-sustaining through direct student participation. In other words, a student run blog about art and all of its attendant issues. This could take the shape of opinions regarding exhibitions you have seen, tips or intersting art links you come across, proposals for collective actions and collaborative art investigations. In short, this is an opportunity for interested and active students to engage art in a conversation manner via the nexus of internet technology. Ultimately this could lead to the institution of a more sophisticated internet presence such as a well designed website (which would e a great way to introduce collaboration btween studio and com-des students).

Those who post can do so at their leisure. However, in order to maintain the viability of this project it is necessary that bloggers on this site stay active and informed in the manner in which they post on this site. Anyone volunteering to blog this site must do so recognizing that they are ultimately contributing to the furtherance of the general art dialogue within the context of a university setting. In doing so, attenton must be paid to language and content. This site is designed to be helpful not a simulated free-range for cynicism and malcontentment reagrding art issues.

Keep in mind that blogging this site is different than commenting on this site. The comment box is open to whomever wants to comment about the individual posts. You don't have to blog this site to comment on this site. Bloggers on this site are essentially researchers for his site while commenters are, well, commenters.

AGRC will take up to (4) art student bloggers this semester. Again, email AGRC at artgroop@gmail.com.
