Sculpture: Itinerant Artworks

3 units

Who said you can't take it with you? Itinerant Artworks is a course in which students create work in any medium that is built for travel (not speed) and that can be set up, knocked down, or installed in a variety of locations at a moment's notice. Students will document their work at a range of sites throughout St Louis. For the final project, the class will stage an off the grid outdoor exhibition in Forest Park. Typically, artworks are either site-specific or are agnostic to their placement and location. Itinerant Artworks proposes a third model, where an artwork can be mobile, responsive, and highly adaptable to various environments or sites. Itinerant Artworks is intended to be a response to the current condition for making and viewing art. Despite the unpredictable and ever-changing circumstances of this moment, you can take it with you.
