A starting point in this workshop is to consider the The Charles River Project (1972) by Gyorgi Kepes. Kepes was the founder of the MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS). The Charles River Project was envisioned by Kepes as a means to explore new artistic ways of revitalizing the role of the Charles River.
This IAP workshop aims to produce artistic proposals that examine the history or current-day interventions in the river Charles and its biosphere--be they industrial, military, scientific, pedagogical or artistic.
The workshop will offer readings, film screenings, field trips and meetings with invited scholars, researchers and artists to support the development of the proposals.
At the conclusion of the workshop there will be a review with invited reviewers will take place in the CUBE (E15-001) on Friday, Jan 13.
