Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0256 - Art Barn Studio Colloquium

The Art Barn Studio Colloquium will address and ask participants to critically negotiate the importance of curatorial thinking. The colloquium is mandatory for students who were granted individual studio space in the Arts Barn;, students who maintain an independent studio practice may apply to the colloquium for a limited number of additional spaces.* Students will learn through readings, reviews of exhibitions/sites, and studio visits, how to best take advantage of their studio spaces and also apply gained knowledge to their projected final thesis exhibitions. During this course, students will have the opportunity to attend discussions and visit museums, galleries, and exhibitions across the Five Colleges. As part of the course, students will develop their artist statement and photograph their work in order to advance their professional practice skills. The colloquium will culminate in an Open Studio show curated by participants in the final week of the semester. * In order to guarantee students planning certainty, the Art Barn Studio application process will be held during preregistration in the Spring 2024 semester. For more information about this process, email Greg Kline at gkline@hampshire.edu.

Students should expect to spend 8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time
