This advanced course will take a broad look at spatial art practices while focusing attention on variety of ways in which contemporary artists establish meaning through the marriage of content, context and materiality. Students will undertake self-directed creative investigation and production. All students will present three projects for group critique and participate in an end of semester group show. Coursework will largely be determined by the needs, interests, and dynamics of the group and may consist of lectures, readings, discussions, demonstrations, critiques, field trips and studio work in any available media.
Open to junior and senior Art, BFA-Art, BFA-Arch, Art History, and BDIC majors only. Students will make four trips to New York City to visit exhibitions, studios, and resources relevant to emerging artists.
