About the event
In Pure Critique we range far and wide in our discussions.
To give you a sense of the creative fervor, the maelstrom of imaginative popcorn, the synaptic jumps and quantum leaps, the sheer headburn of lightbulbs going on and topics leaping fro and to, here’s a sample of subjects that have come under scrutiny, the microscope, and internet checking in recent class deliberations:
precious gems, specifically how rubies cannot or are rarely cut;
the iron lung and the little toys given to distract children in them;
when the decline of holiday resort hotels a la The Catskills actually occurred;
croquet, the somewhat archaic game, as genteel pastime and perhaps demonstrative of an attitude to life;
