Welcome to the altbods blog

We use this blog as a resource to discuss the notion of "alternative bodies" in the marketplace and how to design for them/for us. We critique Euro-centric ideology pressed into design and research methods to make room for "alternative bodies" as the focus of artistic creation.

This blog represents the thoughts and art work of our studio class -- by students in architecture, design, illustration, sculpture, graphic and visual arts. We are a hybrid group with many talents.

Music Team - Report in!

Music Team 
Read on - this is what I need from you!  We need about 20 mins of music that rocks - pick some fast songs and some slows songs.   Consult with the three designers + 1 illustrationist (see below for names) and ask them what kind of music they want for their designs. Create a music list that incorporates 4-5 minutes for the first FOUR names below.  Total: ~20 minutes.   We may fine-tune this list next week, but for now: get working please!


SUMMARYof all music needs 
Opening music for 3-3:20 pm.
Music for Fashion Show: 3:20 - 3:40
Music for Introductions of all students and projects to audience: 3:40-4:30
Quiet music for end of the main event: event ends 5-6pm.


ALL:  FYI. Please no alcohol prior or during runway walk, not for anyone in class nor the models.  Modeling is a skill and art form! Take it seriously and give it your full attention!
