For students wishing to learn innovative and speculative forms of research and 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.
A starting point in this workshop is to consider the The Charles River Project (1972) by Gyorgi Kepes, the founder of the MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS).
Students will be asked to produce a developed proposal/model/prototype for a river structure or vehicle linking it to citizenship, quality of life or artistic fiction.
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.
