MEANING IN THE MEDIUM OF PAINTING |
| How do we understand originality? Is it something you think about in the studio, or in the critique? Is it a concept fatally tied to the past? Or can it be found, recast in strategies and agendas of the moments? Or possible? The seminar will mix readings, studio exercises, discussion and critique into an investigation of our individual and collective relationship to the notion of 145originality'. We will consider our desire for it, or for the loss of it, within some simple frames, both modern and post modern. We will attempt to define our use of 145originality' within the current state of the critical/marketplace reception of art. Restricted to Graduate level as elective |
