Thanks to everybody for your thoughtful engagement with the Uneven Development exhibit today at MoMA. For those of you who did not attend the MoMA show with the rest of the class today, please bring proof that you went to the show to class next week. A ticket stub or a photo you took at the show will do. I won’t accept these after next class, so make sure to see it before Tuesday!

Please, 150-200 words maximum.

Congratulations to Kyle and Allegra for being the first to post reading responses for this week!  But everyone, from now on, please stick to the 150-200 word stipulation. It is not a suggested word count, and 200 is not the minimum, it is the maximum. Distilling your thoughts in to a limited number of words is a valuable skill that you will be forced to develop in this course. And this way we can all – hopefully – have time to read each other’s responses. Thank you!

Welcome!
