Section Title:
Landscape Between Nature & You
Section Info:
As a relationship between humans and nature, landscape is not bound to any specific medium. Instead, it is negotiated through a wide range of media. This seminar examines the theory and practice of landscape as a relational condition. Participants will explore twelve works of landscape in diverse media in order to understand how their terms are defined and negotiated. Through shared firsthand experience, close analysis, and interpretation, with pertinent scholarly supports, students will address questions of agency, purpose, and meaning alongside practical concerns such as materiality, technique, and context. As a semester-long project, each student will develop and self-publish an original zine in a print edition of 20, interpreting and influencing the contemporary situation of landscape through a lens of personal understandings, priorities, and aspirations.
