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 include tours of the exhibitions, conversations with the exhibition curators, guest lectures, and research in the Walker Art Center Library. 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.
