What lies at the intersection of language and art? In this studio course, students will look at contemporary and historical artwork, exhibitions, and theory that highlight this question with the aim of gaining a clearer understanding of how language functions in their personal practice. This may include the discussion and creation of two- and three-dimensional works that incorporates text or letterform, art that is inspired by a specific text, and writings on art. Additionally, we will discuss the role of critique for artists and approaches students can take in talking about their work.
