Art and Site is a studio course emphasizing context as a major component of artwork in both context and form. Context is defined to include the physicality of a potential site, that site's historic, current, and future use, as well as targeted and incidental audiences. The site, as well as the artwork, may be protean as in the case of artists and performer/distributor, or in the case of a nomadic, disintegrating or self-destructing artwork. Because site-specific sculpture is the largest group of extant work in the public sphere, this course will feature both permanent and temporary three-dimensional and multi-dimensional work in context. We will focus on the artists' intent through form, structure, materiality, content, and design. Alternate forms (i.e. image projection, flyers, sound work, guerilla events, work in cyber space, etc.) will also be encouraged and considered. In addition to studio practice (presentation and critique), slides lectures, reading, site visits, and presentations by visiting artists may comprise class time.
