GRAD III SCULPTURE SEMINAR |
| In this class, we go to the source, exploring the richness and diversity of art forms being made and exhibited across the five boroughs of New York city. Our focus is contemporary work, the structure of the gallery-based art market, experimental/performative, artist run projects and the critical media that surrounds these worlds. As artists, we must constantly increase our knowledge of other practices in our field. It's essential for a student of current art to see it in person; towards that end, the class will spend six days in New York over the semester. We will travel to a range of galleries, studios and non-profits, museums, and cultural spaces in a variety of the city's neighborhoods. The group will meet with artists, gallerists, curators, and critics. The classroom component focuses on discussion and analysis of the work seen during each New York visit. Required writings put each artist in the critic's shoes, as well as allowing each student to approach exhibited works in light of their own studio practice. The extended format of this seminar will allow us to attend various cultural events that are associated with the arts in new York on Friday evenings. |
