Description"The Repair" is preceded by the injury. Injuries on the landscape, the environment, on objects, architecture, on the body, on the psyche. In this studio art course students are going to develop multimedia art projects based on their engagement in questions concerning the human impact on land, objects, waters, architecture, plants, animals, and humans. A thorough research phase, lectures, and exhibition visits in the beginning of the semester will require students to engage with the work of artists who are contemplating the human, social, and environmental havocs of our times and their intersections with superiority, destruction, colonialism, displacement, commerce, migration, appropriation, power structures, etc. By writing and presenting course papers, students are first going to collaboratively research the work of artists like Mona Hatoum, Kader Attia, Philip Guston, Jean Dubuffet, El Anatsui, Satch Hoyt, Yinka Shonibare, Ghada Amer, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Wangechi Mutu, Anish Kapoor, David Hammons, Joseph Beuys - and then draft, carry out, and curate their own studio art projects
