Last week for Field Guide to Getting Lost

Dear Campers,

This week is going to be online. I had imagined I could be in Nashville and at Backstory at the same time, but as I pack, I realize, I can only be in one place at one time. I am driving to Nashville with Katie Hargrave (known to a few of you) so we can look through the family photos of Betty Rymer. We will be exploring geography and identity, two themes in A Field Guide to Getting Lost.

I will hunt some internet down in Nashville and be on Skype at 8:30 Central time for the last Sonit week.

Happy getting lost.

Schedule for Field Guide

Good morning,

Next Tuesday, the 14th, there will be no Art Theory meetings. All are invited to an opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago from 7-8 pm.

All agree this books is better read at the pace of a novel and not broken up into tidy week sections. Read Field Guide at whatever speed you wish and we will talk about the book on Tuesday, the 21st. At that point, if we want to extend the conversation one more week, we can. Or we can start Reassembling the Social a week early.

Happy reading.

Good morning,

This is Rebecca Solnit week and we get to Get Lost. Read the first third for next Tuesday. As this is a short sweet book, we will read it in 3 sections. We will still call it the July book, as I need to miss Tuesday the 14th for an opening. If you are in the area, please come to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago between 7-8. The show continues through Sunday July 19th.

Happy reading.
