Advanced Sculpture: Installation

4 credits · Undergraduate

Regardless of the media used, the objective of this class is to question issues of space, placement, presentation, and context regarding one’s work. Students will consider notions of site specificity and of whether an object is distinct from its environment or is part of it. Other concerns include the architectural and historical information a space possesses, how to activate a space with your ideas, how your work can have a dialog with a space and where/how you can display and document your work. Students will explore topics through site-based projects, lectures, readings, critique, and field trips. Priority enrollment for Art Practice majors and intended Art Practice majors. Prerequisites: ART 14 Sculpture: Foundations or by permission.
