Course Catalog Description:
This class will examine the historical and contemporary aspects of sculpture installation art. The structure of this studio course provides space for in-depth research, idea development, individual exploration, experimentation, play and critical feedback. This course is not media specific, you will be working with materials that work with the concepts in your practice. You are encouraged to explore the use of sound, video and performance in your installations. A generous amount of studio time is allowed for studio work and personal exploration augmented by readings, field trips and visiting artist lectures. prereq: 1802

In addition to developing, researching, and constructing individual and collaborative installations, students will explore and investigate the installation work and studio practice of contemporary artists working in sculpture and installation.

This course will also look at the installation works of Yayoi Kusama, William Pope.L, Kara Walker, Allan Kaprow, Rosemarie Trockel, Pierre Huyghe, Allora & Calzadilla, Kader Attia among others.


The techs in the Department of Art have been working all summer on a safe physical distancing plan for all of our studios to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and faculty. In the event that this studio class transitions to partial or fully online, each student will be supplied with a tool kit along with a variety of materials to take home along with instructions on how to set up a simple workspace in your home. We look forward to working with you in the fall semester.
