Make Art Here

Catalog description

How does location provoke an art action? What about the locations we carry with us? Does the view out your window instigate how depth perception is represented in your work, or color palette? MAKE ART HERE in London will center a consideration of Live Art, archival practices and publics as we encounter and invent contemporary art making practices. We will visit parks and gardens, performances, museums, neighborhoods of interest and arts institutions generating contemporary work across all mediums. Students may switch mediums between projects, and are invited to explore time based art (music, performance, etc.) as well as fine arts (painting, drawing, collage, etc.). Students enrolled in this class can expect to walk a great deal and to attend evening and morning events. This course offers a curated, immersive experience in art-making, woven inextricably into the city of London. This course will be offered in January-Term 2026. This course will be taught at NYU London and will count as an Away J-Term course.
