Whew. Our posting on 2buildings1blog this month has slowed, but our overall blogging activities are currently at full steam. We've launched a website for
Transformation - the community programming organized in conjunction with the Matta-Clark exhibition (which you can also explore online
here). A few highlights:
The Panel Series: We've organized a panel discussion each month to explore topics related to Matta-Clark's work within the context of St. Louis. The key question we'll address in each panel: "How do communities evolve and in what ways can their members guide the process?" Within this online section we'll feature interviews with the panelists, research info related to the topic, and full audio from the discussion shortly afterward. I also
attempt (key word) to live tweet each panel (

Local Artists: This is where the bulk of the blogging happens. We're documenting the three artist-run projects throughout the course of Transformation - hear updates from the artists, watch videos of the classes, even watch DIY videos to learn some of the skills yourself, and generally stay up-to-date as each project evolves.
Your St. Louis: Definitely the most interactive of all the sections. We're posting candid interviews with St. Louis residents, to help paint a fuller portrait of the community. Show us your St. Louis by adding photos to our Flickr group. Show off your favorite route, by creating a custom Google Map for others to use. We want to showcase what St. Louis means to those of us who live here.
Forum: We're hoping this section will grow into a place for discussion. Want to expand on ideas you heard in the panel? Want to ask an artist a question about their project? This is the place to do it!
This website will continue to grow and shift as the programming grows and shifts, and as always, we'd love to get your feedback. Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
