Section Title:
Art in Context
Section Info:
Meets with ARTS 457: Art & Context: The Everyday is a studio/seminar focusing on the politics and poetics of the ordinary, the routine, The Everyday—as a critical concern for contemporary artists. Tracing the emergence of The Everyday as a subject of modernity, as a structure for 1960s conceptual art practices, and including creative projects and contemporary artworks up to our present moment, this course will examine the manifestations of The Everyday as a generative force capable of exposing hierarchies of time and space, reorganizing social and political infrastructures, giving purpose to poetic reveries, and revealing The Everyday as a potential force that can startle, surprise, and teach us how to see the world anew. Art & Context: The Everyday will include readings for discussion, a weekly film series, creative exercises, and a semester long project—all of which are intended to augment and/or fold easily into one’s existing creative research and practice, regardless of medium or expertise.
