Art Studio 280SP - Topics in Art Studio: 'Sculptural Poetics'

What does it mean for a letter to support physical weight? For a word to overtake a building? For a sentence to be planted in the ground? In Sculptural Poetics, we will create dimensional text-work and examine the history of poetic linguistic expression. How can language be made physical? How can words levitate, press, dissolve, disrupt, and productively confuse existing boundaries? Using a wide variety of processes including casting, textiles, woodworking, video projection, and performance, we will create textual interventions both inside and beyond the studio.

Prereq: ARTST-120, ARTST-131, or ARTST-142.
