We will be given texts that are challenging and annoying and difficult, but talk about whether you agree with them? texts you use as tools, might be vocabulary you're not used to, might be unrelated to your ideas but the more reading you do the more you'll get used to it. I might find something that I didn't expect to be interested by.
Next week: aesthetics and anti aesthetics task: bring an image which either confirms or challenges your view of aesthetics.
We will be talking about beauty - a common motion or old fashioned?
Tutorials with either Krzysztof or Judith talk about practice text and gallery presentation, talk about research so far.
Further tutorials closer to hand in - look at some draft material of texts for advice

Referencing - in my previous essays I have found this particularly tricky, will look into more
