DISCUSSION NOTES ON TWO FEBRUARY 2022 SUPERVISORY MEETINGS (researcher)
On 11 Feb 2022, Supervisory Lead Mark Roughley, TT supervisor Borenquin Gallo and I met for just over an hour. On 16 Feb 2022, Robyn Ferrell and I met for more than one hour. During each meeting the following was discussed:
_Mark stated that due to illnesses, the School faculty meeting re: Project Application Approvals will not meet during February, so I should not expect to hear about mine until next month.
_I updated all supervisors on these matters:
_I was invited as a guest artist on Philadelphia, PA, USA based author and gallerist Bridgette Mayer's live podcast for her Monday, April 18th show.
_Related to that, in late Feb. my recent work will be photographed, and those images will be used for Mayer's social media Podcast promotional materials.
_One of my paintings, "Pink World 3", will be included in the upcoming Contemporary Color: Theory & Use, 3rd Ed, by Stephen Bleicher, publish/release date of 2023. My work will be part of Chapter 6, on Color and Intersectionality.
_I had a January 29, 2022 meeting with Stevenson University, Maryland based Professor and Gallery Director, Lori Rubeling. During that meeting she and I discussed her intent to book a 2024 solo show of my work. Director of 4 galleries at Stevenson University MD Green Spring Campus, and an occasional visiting curator at University of Maryland Baltimore County art gallery, as this year unfolds, Lori Rubeling will book which specific gallery the exhibit will be mounted in, and the specific dates.
_During our meeting, we also discussed ChromaTheory (my thesis), indeterminacy, liminality, Avetal Renal (a German writer), and Bergson (A French writer on "cone of perception"). Rubeling stated that she will write an essay to accompany the exhibition.
_I asked if a 2024 calendar year exhibition, once confirmed or booked, might be considered my PhD thesis exhibition?
_Professor Roughley reviewed my projected Project due Dates on eDoc, pointing out that the window for my Thesis submission is 15 Jul 2024 - 15 Jun 2025, meaning that a show mounted during any season of 2024 will coincide with due dates.
_We all agreed that if my show is mounted during the Spring of 2024, I will submit the written thesis following it, during the late summer of 2024. And if the exhibition is mounted during the Fall of 2024, I will submit my 40,000 word written thesis during the first quarter of 2025.
_Michael Bowdidge stated I would include an essay on my work within my citations list.
_Borinquen stated that Lori Rubeling's essay would become a part of my Thesis appendices.
_Robyn stated that my podcast interview, the inclusion of my painting in "Contemporary Color: Theory & Use 3rd Ed, a 2024 thesis exhibition, and Rubeling's upcoming accompanying essay will all become part of my documented PhD research activities.
_Mark asked me to update my website, www.ginadominique.com, to separate out the TT Reading Diary from the TT Process Blog.
_Mark, Borinquen and I agreed to change the March supervisory meeting to @10AM EST/15:00 GMT, Friday, 4 March, 2022.
_Robyn and I agreed to meet on the 3rd Wednesday USA/Thursday Aus of each month, and booked our meetings accordingly through June 2022.
_Robyn stated that she will email specific November 2022 dates during which time she will visit New York City. And we agreed, if possible, to meet in person that month, and to also invite Borinquen.
_I requested that Robyn help direct my thesis writing. She agreed and to get it going, she said within the upcoming week, she will email me a prompt question re: my "Pink World 3" painting.
_All advisors are very encouraging, supportive and helping me shape my research.
_After the meeting, I did separate out my Reading Diaries from my "Process Blog", renamed at TT's request, "Creative Research Journal". The url is unchanged... https://ginadominique.com/news.html
_Due to size of my OPP websites "flex pages" limitations, I created two new "Reading Diary" tabs, separate and apart from the "Creative Research Journal"
1) An active "Reading Diary 2022"- https://ginadominique.com/page/4-Reading-Diary-2022.html
2) An archived Diary titled "Reading Diary 2021"- https://ginadominique.com/page/5-Reading-Diary-2021.html
_I registered for the February 26 & 27 2022 Transart intensive SESSION 14: CURATING AS POLITICAL ACTION. I completed the required readings, and posted my Feb. 2022 Reading Diary on listed above link.
_I have yet to complete my Creative Research Journal February activities and posting. It is due by Feb. 25. (A very recent family death takes me to PA for funeral service for the next few days.)
