Painting/Printmaking 593a, Spatial and Temporal Approaches to Cinema in the Studio
ART 593a, Spatial and Temporal Approaches to Cinema in the Studio.
Wednesday 2:005:00pm
The new cinema is spatial. It is combinatory. The new cinema
is not cinema at all. Post-fiction, post-genre, post-documentary… the
materials are durational, they perform themselves. Constellations of elements accumulate in the gallery, and wash away. Rather than discrete artworks, relations between objects and images are the project, the sensibility, the display. The cut is an insertion into context, and form is a resistance to fixed forms.
This seminar looks at the uniquely combinatory methods of the moving
image–montage, image juxtaposition, condensation, pacing, physical performance, sound, music, spatial choreography-as a means for an artist’s own expansive practice that includes video, installation, performance… Through the production of their own work, studio visits, workshops and the viewing of works, participants will consider how cinematic concepts can structure an artwork (or a body of work, exhibition, collective endeavor…), gathering and producing meaning within and between objects, a constellation of elements that- even without a hint of reference– function as cinema in their associative arrangements. Meets bi-weekly for 1.5 credits as follows:
8/28, 9/11, 9/25, 10/9, 10/30, 11/13.
