In this studio-centered course, students develop a self-directed, unified body of work as a culminating project for their art studies. Our format is that of an open lab where we concentrate on developing a research-based, sustained investigation. Students will be asked to consider their work in the context of current concerns in art and contemporary culture. Readings, slide shows, field trips, critiques and presentations will provide a basis for your studio work, which may be executed in any media and in any combination of image, text, object, environment, video, live performance and/or sound.
This course blog will be used to gather and present information of common concern. Start and maintain a course blog of your own (linked at left) to record and share ideas, imagery development, research, responses to readings, discussions, critiques and field trips, as well as the general evolution of your studio work. Conduct regular research of contemporary artists relevant to your work via art journals, NY Times Friday reviews (available online and weekly in class), e-flux, websites and other sources and post to your personal class blog. You will be required to speak about the artists you research at specified class meetings (see course schedule).
