Team Nightlife - Ali Bland, Kelsey Cage, Parker Roe, Martin Corral

Group Draft- Armbrust, Veysikh

Introduction

Denver is a sprawling city that is known for being an oasis of vibrant culture that contains a loud, public art scene. The borders between the mundane habits of everyday life and the pulsating energy of Denver’s many art galleries, public sculptures, and performance artists blur and seep into each other, distorting the border between personal life and the public forum of art and culture. Our project hopes to unify the many mediums of this public art, such as sculpture, interactive music, and live performances, and glean an understanding of what inspires the creators of this art to draw the everyday crowd into their piece. Our map will not only capture the audience and placement of these works, but also the motivation behind them.

Schedule
May 13th- split up, half go to Downtown: including 16th street, Convention Center, and the Denver Public Library.
May 16th- bring in pictures and other things pertaining to our topic.
May 18th- work on final drafting
Week of 13th 20th- the other group members go to DAM and LoDo Downtown
May 20th- finalize the paper and the pictures

Group Draft-Frey, Haraway, Summitt, Baca

For most, a University campus is a place to come for sports, cultural activities, and socializing. For many students the University of Denver serves as just that type of place beginning their freshman year. However as time passes and the students get older many of them tend to venture off campus in an attempt to explore the city of Denver and it’s surrounding area. In a city full of history and rich in culture there are many places a student can go to release some of the stress built up from constant work and studying. Skiing, five professional sports venues, nightclubs, great restaurants and concerts are all places one can find a DU student on the weekend (or during the week) enjoying Denver.

Schedule:

May 12th-16th: Attend concert by Cunninlynguists, attend Rockies game, and visit Beta nightclub to collect data and materials for class on Monday. Skiing data and materials will also be collected during this time period but through personal contact. Eat out at Denver specific restaurants (Cherry Cricket).

May 16th-18th: Edit collected materials and prepare to workshop both materials and building Map. Meet in group if needed to edit and discuss materials.

May 18th-22nd: Finish editing both text and map for submission deadline of May 22nd. Individuals edit own writing for both process note and actual map detail.
