Studio Principles: NSP207

Catalog description

Embraces the ‘new’ in artmaking since the reproducible photograph – exploring performance art, video, audio, social practice, digital practices, timebased forms and more. The emphasis is on creating experiences between artist and audience. We’ll look at the history of new genre while making a case for creating new histories. Various methods, techniques and demos will provide students with skills to create work that lives in the spaces between traditional boundaries, makes new spaces outside those boundaries, or sidesteps boundaries altogether. This is a studio class with occasional readings, discussions, in-class activities and critiques.
