Art Event Review (Exercise 2)
- Due S 15-Nov
500 words (min. / 750 words max); 1 image/video
10 points (see exercise guidelines)
» Task: Compose review of event/exhibit (in-person display, performance) attended — in style suitable to discipline, applying conventions of discourse community (as observed in model/example).
You might imagine writing for the publication of the model you observed, considering editorial standards and audience expectations.
Or, consider blog [as] publishing: readers of your review likely include those who have attended or plan to attend the local event/exhibit.
In either case, thoroughly consider audience, applying rhetorical awareness and understanding of disciplinary writing conventions of your field. For instance, don’t forget an overall assessment (thesis); context or connection to field/movement, and a conclusion (e.g. broader significance or relevance?)
Remember (important): as review this should be critical with specific examples, while limiting summary/description (what would editor expect/advise? what do readers expect?)
While this is a straightforward review — applying conventions recognized — not necessarily concerning networked media ecology, you certainly might also discuss some of our recent topics like ambiance, specificity of site and materiality, audience experience, etc; perhaps consider, to inform your review (left implied), or to discuss in conclusion.
