The public opening is announced for 5pm on Thursday May 3. Design junior Eunice Chung has very kindly made the above poster; please feel free to distribute the PDF by email.
Tomorrow’s class time is dedicated to preparations/installation of your works in the CFA Great Hall/Studio. I will be available in my studio in Doherty D313 for any consultation/questions.
The map below indicates the locations for each final project:
- All works must be installed by 12pm PM on Thursday May 3
- If you see a “?” next to your name, please contact me with your plans.
- Note the red circles indicating power outlet locations that I have identified; there may be others.
- If you need additional materials (extension chords, podia, projectors, etc.) and have not yet secured one, please contact me right away.
Please don’t forget to visit the FCE site to complete a Course Evaluation for this class.
The system will be open until May 15, 2012.
