FICTILIS: Vague NotionsPost an Event »
Modeling a variety of dynamic, often playful, approaches to shaping your vague notions into concrete ideas, throughout this month-long project, Andrea Steves and Timothy Furstnau of FICTILIS will host a series of low-pressure, open-ended “brainstorming sessions” at Interface Gallery.
Led by a member of FICTILIS or an invited guest from the Bay Area arts community, all scheduled sessions will be free and open to the public - and ideally fun to watch!
Throughout the project, visitors to the gallery can view the un-erased chalkboards from recent sessions, which will remain there as text pieces, presenting the broad outlines of previous conversations (and calling to mind Joseph Beuys' blackboards from his lectures).
Visitors can also use the chalk to do their own brainstorms on an open board and will be invited to engage with various materials and resources related to brainstorming presented in the gallery - including managerial texts on innovation (Edward deBono's famous The Six Thinking Hats), artist-designed prompts (Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s “Oblique Strategies” card deck), and more.
Attend as many brainstorming sessions as you like through this month long project. Visitors may even propose brainstorming topics of your own which might be selected for the two final sessions!
This project is one of three month-long interactive, community-based projects at Interface Gallery that are supported by Southern Exposure's Alternative Exposure grant.
Session Schedule Available on the Gallery Website.
