Section Info:
Topic: Contemporary Art Practice and Pedagogy. Recently there's been a move on behalf of some contemporary art practitioners to take their work and working methods into more public, civic-minded spheres. Artists are enacting their works thinking about the idea of the "public" as medium. This pedagogical and political turn can be found in artworks ranging from performance art to curatorial projects. Graduate students interested in blurring the disciplinary lines of art-related discourses (e.g. studio practices, art history, art activism, design, curating, art education, museum, media, and performance studies) alongside the already trans-disciplinary areas of curriculum and pedagogy are encouraged to join year's group. Topics examined: Conceptual art, chance, failure, the ready-made, situationalism, relational aesthetics, performance pedagogy, interdisciplinarity, visual studies, art as civic engagement, aesthetics of generosity, affect theory installation as social art practice, ethics and ecology under the auspices of art practices, grass roots collaboration, interventionist practice, the everyday, durational art practices, the public vs. the private, and the studio as site of contention and creation.
