Painting/Printmaking Art 539, PAINTING/PRINTMAKING
Painting 539, Perpetual Present ProcessThis course aims to foster the development of a generative space for action between intention
and execution — a way to work incrementally and iteratively towards what is not-yet- known. An
expansive consideration of process will be central to this pursuit. While this term has often been
associated with material process, we will work to extend its scope to consider artwork as a
continuously present process inclusive of thought, research, action, contemplation, and states
beyond and between. Though every art object is the product of some process that occurred at
least partially in the past, how can we undo this finality to experience the present tense of
looking as a continuation of the process of making? Reading/discussion combined with group
critique. Halsey Rodman
