Sculpture ART 661, Experimental Studio
An interdisciplinary studio seminar for students interested in expanding and challenging their artistic interests and engaging the world around them through individual and group activity, experimentation, and present experience. Central to this course are subjectivity, perception, time, and play, and their possible rearticulation into an aesthetic experience. Whether through performance, audiovisual recording, music, or object-making, various artistic practices are considered, as are practices that fall outside of the art-making realm, including scientific research and Eastern meditative practices. Visits to science research centers, trips within New Haven, group activities such as music improvisation, and student-led demonstrations, field trips, or presentations make up the bulk of the seminar. Over the course of the term, each student develops experiments that are related to his or her artistic concerns, one of which is presented to the class. A wide variety of related materials are read, screened, and discussed, including the practices of artists such as Lee Ufan, Bruce Nauman, and Trisha Donnelly among others.Editor details
