8 sessions >> Tuesdays, February 6–March 27
6:30–9:30 pm, Studio 10, $385
No prerequisite.
This class will focus on site-specific artwork. Students will be introduced to a variety of artists that address the surrounding environment in the design and creation of their artwork. We will explore the work of artists experimenting in a wide range of mediums and discuss the documentation of these works. Weekly readings combined with brief lectures will serve as the basis for class discussion. In addition to weekly assignments, students will be asked to develop one final site-specific installation to be finished at the end of the semester. Class time will be split between lecture, discussion, critique and studio time. The class will include two off-campus field trips.
Sample class assignments: 1) Create a work that reacts to the architecture of the classroom, 2) Create a work that reflects the usage of a specific space, and 3) Create a site specific work and bring in documentation of the work.
