Sculpture 668a, Come to Your Senses
This course addresses issues of spatial composition and exhibition/installation strategies utilizing and refining the instrument of our bodies as an intuitive tool for perceiving and creating spatial experiences. The course meets six times and requires at least two visits to New York City. Some simple, non-stressful athletic/physical exercises are introduced as we attempt to develop and fine tune our bodies to have consciousness and sensitivity to space, while we delve into the complex problems and challenges of composing affective exhibition experiences. We visit galleries, museums, and retail locations in NYC and New Haven on research/critique investigations, unearthing and exposing the strategies, techniques, conventions, and methods that are utilized for transmitting content. The gallery spaces at 1156 Chapel Street are discussed, and students are urged to utilize this course as a rehearsal for mounting their thesis exhibitions. Assigned readings and 100% class involvement and attendance are required. Meets biweekly 1.5 credits.Editor details
