Overview: This Community of Learners
was given the task to compare and contrast performance,
production and exhibition spaces of the 1800-1850 era to
those of 1950-2000 These spaces were used as a vehicle for
exploring the changing meaning of the arts through the past
2000 years. Members were to discuss the creative process
(then and now), artistic intent and the significance of
the arts in society. This community examined such questions
as "How does the space in which a work is displayed
or performed influence its aesthetic and artistic statement?"
These issues were discussed in relation to the performance,
production and exhibition spaces of the two eras. The group
designed and participated in a videoconference with educational
specialists at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
