Invisible City: The Psychology of Place
Workshop #2 – Invisible City: The Psychology of Place – Discussion begins @ 11am / Friday, February 12th

Each social landscape is embedded with its own unique, ever changing, psychological elements. The city, its dense and frenetic nature, creates a space of swirling social transformations where each day represents new possibilities of living in proximity. Time, as with everything, has its effects, and attitudes change. These changing attitudes find form in the urban landscape through our interactions as well as the structures we build and vice versa.
For our second workshop in the Mt. Analogue class Fate is Kind: Abstraction and Patterning in a Life with Others we will be joined in conversation by Jennifer Newsom, architect (Dream the Combine) and professor of architecture at the University of Minnesota to discuss the ways that artists can help illustrate these social flows and patterns, their forms and attitudes.
As always we will seed, as well as continue, our conversation through Social Margins, the Confluence social annotation platform; “an assembly in text.”

Last fall Andrew Jansen pulled a handfull of folks together, including our dear friend John Zuma St. Pelvyn and his collaborators in the Dark Globe Memorial Big Band, to situate themselves under various bridges, here in the neighborhood, at dusk along the Greenway. It was a truly magical event.
We’ve spoken with Andrew about producing some sort of “thing” in relation to this past, and near present, version of “Bridges.”
Tomorrow night will find us experiencing the second iteration of the gathering, now in springtime. We highly suggest you check it out. Here’s the lineup and bridge locations, including our friends IE, who we’re also in the midst of figuring out some “thing” with.
