Penny Leong, one of my graduate students, defended her thesis today. She did really well. The topic: acts of giving on craigslist free stuff section. She analyzed the ways in which people phrase their listings and conduct the actual exchange. Her thesis project will be exhibited in the Charles H. Scott gallery from May 1st to May 14th. It will be a participatory display of objects that exemplify the categories of giving that she has identified. Her process blog documents some of the objects (and categories) that will be on display.
In came out during the defense that Veda Hille produced a musical with Geoff Berner called "Do You Want What I Have Got?: A Craigslist Cantata", that played during the Push Festival. I wish we both would have seen it! I think it might be playing again in some form on May 2nd at the Arts Club Theatre.
A song for this post (from the cantata).
