The Junior/Senior Seminar explores unexpected and non-traditional approaches to collaboration, with a focus on interdisciplinary practices. Together, we will investigate and redefine the role of the collaborator and the artist. Practices, traditions and histories will be analyzed in an ongoing cycle of discussion, reading and making. An emphasis will be placed on developing concepts and imagery in relation to contemporary art practice and theory. Participants may work in any medium, format or discipline.
