We will contextualize the work and the working approach of aforementioned artists and their contemporary's. The goal of this course is to explore more advanced problems in studio arts, with emphasis on the 'everyday life' and its entire complexity. Thematic assignments are designed to have students create and review works on an advanced level. Students will have to work in response to texts, films and work of other artists. Two response papers and one collaborative presentation on an assigned artist will be required. This course is open for students concentrating in the visual arts.
