Advanced Sculpture: Radical Wearables

4 credits · Undergraduate

How have contemporary artists used textiles, garments, and "fashion- like" sculptures to create artworks that challenge issues of gender, identity, and use? Far from being neutral territory, artist-produced props and wearables often incorporate aesthetic experimentation in order to critique existing power structures and highlight alternatives. This hands-on studio course will focus on the production of experimental costumes, garments, and fashion in the context of contemporary art and critical ideas.
