Junior Seminar in Visual Art

Catalog description

Contemporary artists are makers, researchers, writers, curators. This is a hybrid seminar/ studio course on the global practice of contemporary art and how we can apply those lessons to our own artmaking. We will focus on questions such as “How do artists run their studios”, “What is the place of history and identity?” and “How does art function as a commodity?” Class projects will include short writings and making objects. We will visit artists studios and have artists come to talk to us. Department trips to New York will be a part of the curriculum.
