EXno.20 : Circulation and Sequence

Given the front (the short side with the single plane), put a line in space that outlines a sequence through the spaces in the model. Not all spaces need be reached with the line but they must be engaged in the logic of how one would pass through these spaces. Think of this line as a sort of variable speed timeline where one passes from one to another in a cinematic sense of space that works the line like a camera. It is a view and an occupation both. They're different. One is experiencing it bodily and one is perceiving things visually. Consider this situation in two parts: Where are you looking? and What are you occupying?

Build your line while considering these concepts:
Arrival
Threshold
Compression
Density
Passage
Delay
Tracking

In your model make these lines. We'll help you with finishing these lines in class Thursday.

This is all leading up to a great final assignment.

Bernard "Pretty" Purdie

I didn't do this guy justice in class. The point was to show an example of continuity and the development of an idea and its transference across time. Secondarily, it was to introduce you to a great artist's work.

Here's the people he's recorded music with: James Brown, Grover Washington, Jr., George Benson, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Steely Dan, Toto, Louis Armstrong, and he claims that some of the Beatles' drum tracks are his, not Ringo Starr's. The drumming on Beck's "Devil's Haircut" is a sample of this guy's work.

One addendum: He's not dead. He's currently the drummer for the musical "Hair" on Broadway and is 68 years old.
