Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0276 - Curatorial Studio Seminar for Division II Students in the Visual Arts

This studio seminar is tailored for Division II students concentrating in the visual arts. Participating students will create, present, and discuss their art work with an explicit focus on "space". Through a curatorial lens, we will first examine various strategies of putting art on display; the museum, the white cube, public spaces, institutional spaces, digital space, and perhaps even imaginary spaces. These examinations will be centered around visits of exhibitions, performances, and screenings in the Five Colleges and in the region. Shared responses to assigned readings and film screenings will additionally contribute to the definition of a platform from where students can develop curatorial concepts for a considered visual communication of their independent art work. Participants will have to engage in a comprehensive Artist Presentation Project, which will satisfy the "Division II Supported Project" requirement Keywords:Studio-Art, Visual-Art, Curation, Painting, Performance, Drawing, Installation-Art This course could be used to fulfill the Division II Project requirement
