Brian Tennessee Claflin, (1980-2014) 

Brian sauntered into my class, the third week, with a warm grin and a handful of excuses for his absence. We immediately realized we both hail from Utah, something in our demeanor and the way we talked. He was familiar to me, the youth that escape and find themselves in far-fetched, wild places doing far-fetched, wild things. Brian, you will be missed.

Set-up of the final exhibition for Raum Zeit Experimente W2012-2013 "The 6-week project is based on group engagement with a chosen location or activity in Berlin. After observing and participating in the 'field', each group developed an [audio] visual concept exploring alternative, but relevant ways to intervene, document or further engage in or with the site. Topics explore ideas such as the choreographic elements of boxing to the juxtaposition of German architecture and personal memory. Some confront the limitations of audiovisual media, while others facilitate space for a local voice. These experiments are meant to bring students together and work collaboratively over diverse disciplines, but also to consider a relationally-based, contextually-specific design practice.
