In this two part seminar we will look at the relationship of derived work to its source material, with the implicit or explicit critique of the original and new meanings created.  Part1. We will begin by looking at examples of transcriptive works in the Chelsea special collections. At the end of this session a task will be set and a venue for the display of the finished works discussed.  Part 2. Responses to the task will be discussed and displayed.  **Preliminary Research:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">writers/artists: Jerome McGann, Marjorie Perloff, Marcel Broodthaers, Tom Phillips, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> Xu Bing, Rebecca Horn’s ‘Ocean Library’ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">[] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">[|www.colinsackett.co.uk] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> (‘writings and readings’ section especially) <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">[]
