I've been working with the Free University of San Francisco
teaching a course called Intro to Minimalism
When I was asked to teach a course
I chose those topics recently addressed here
that of Minimalism and the nature of Art
I billed the class as "A Critical Theory Primer"
my intention being the education of Dialectical Criticism
through the real-time criticizing of the Minimalist Art Object
This is how I explained it in my proposal:
Appearing, at first,
like a deep textual analysis of Minimalism's simplest definition,
but over its five weeks worth of opening remarks
(Minimalism, Subject, Object, Expression, Spectacle),
proving to be a minimalist critique
of western philosophy's
underlying fetishization of the Subject
and subsequent suppression of its all encompassing Other.

and subsequent suppression of its all encompassing Other.
As this course was a continuance of our work
I'm going to post my notes for the course here
This may take a while
as many of the notes are heavily formatted
I've invited the students from my class to
and I encourage them and you to comment
as always, freely
Expect much soon.
