This studio course begins where culture lets off and artists take up the slack. At edges of discourse lye fields where the problematics of society take route to build alternative ideas and situations. By exploring these alternatives, we?ll take cues for our own production. This class will involve five fields of inquiry: private property, environmental ecology, psychology and human behavior, globalization, and identity. These positions will offer us an entry way into theoreticians, artist and other indefinable generalists whose work create visions, discourse, and suggestions for other ways to communicate. Basic instruction for editing video and sound will be included in the course, and the class will have access to both sculpture facilities and media labs. Taught by artist Robby Herbst.
