Cardboard Art.
Next week let's begin where Rauschenberg left off.
He used much of the cheap common material and in some cases barely manipulated it.
Use it as a painting surface; gessoed raw or both. Fold it... use it as sculpture or a surface, use paint charccoal staples ink markers stamps footprints tear it bend it.... ?

See you next week- john

John Murray classes week of September 14, 2015

Enjoy the part of the "American imagination that sneers at good manners..."- Greil Marcus
in "Mystery Train,









Images of America in Rock 'N' Roll Music".
Great book... a must read for every outlaw mind!
Fuck the tyranny of the appropriate in all aspects of life!
Welcome to my classes!
Next week let's celebrate the start of the Autumn term with an image that is a slap in the face
to all you find comforting. That is something that only you can decide and execute.
see you then John.
