Andy Warhol MOOC
Of my brief 28 years of life only 1 of them was spent with Andy Warhol. But it was a great time. The highs were so high. Yes, the lows were very, very low. More of my stories on another occasion. But I’m excited that Glyn Davis is teaching a 5-week MOOC on Andy starting Monday. I really want to think through my own small time in Andy’s world again. And also to think about his career before and after my time. And yes, about my own troubled life during those days. Sorry if I’m being too EMO, but do consider joining us. It should be a nice time rethinking that strange man who saw the world with such a unique clarity.

Hi Ciara, that’s so cool. Will you be going to see it?
I put up some class notes from the first day:

Oh, gosh, Edie, I wish I was going to see it but I’m afraid I shall just have to imagine myself there;-) Thank you for the links to your class notes and forum discussion. I’m present in the MOOC in a “spectator” capacity at the moment because things are otherwise kind of hectic here right now but I will try to pop in and out when possible and look forward to seeing you there.
