Description

This course will focus on installation and public practice in conversation with diverse media: video, digital, audio, photo, film, performance, architecture, and the plastic arts. The thematic focus of the seminar will critically engage issues of technology, vision, and site.  This is a rigorous theory/practice workshop class designed specifically for Division II and III students. In this seminar, students will develop their skills within their specific media and work collaboratively throughout the semester to produce work that engages questions of site, space, time, experience and vision within an historical context. Core texts that provide inspiration include: "Site, Space, Intervention," edited by Erika Suderberg, "Times Square Red, Times Square Blue" by Samuel Delaney and "A Small Place" by Jamaica Kincaid. We will challenge traditional modes of production and presentation collectively. Students will focus in on their critical skills and be required to produce three projects and a research presentation on an artist or artists project that resonates with their own practice. This course will encourage students to broaden their perspective of artistic production. This will be a challenging course for serious students in the media arts, visual arts and performance.
