Section Info: Topic: (re)Making Matter(s). This class examines the rise of DIY culture: the proliferation of post-consumer/green design strategies and self-determined making popularized by such publications as Make and ReadyMade magazines; the politics of radical crafting as a feminist and punk inspired opposition to globalized industrial production; and the ever popular trope of the artist as bricoleur, making creative and resourceful (re)use of whatever materials are available, regardless of their original purpose. The format of this class will be a combination of lectures and class discussions on a wide array of issues specific to contemporary practitioners in the fields of indie-crafts, fashion, design, architecture and art. Material gathering fieldtrips and resource guide development will lead to the production of three projects that incorporate the use of re-claimed or re-purposed materials with the goal being the redemptive redeployment of scavenged, surplus material and obsolete objects. This class is open to non-majors, and is intended to encourage material making at all skill levels.
