Course Description:
Sculpture and Environment focuses on three-dimensional art produced through inquiry into issues of environment and ecology. The course will cover the following areas: material history and sustainability in contemporary sculpture, conflicts of land art, ecological research as art, and art towards environmental justice. This is a lab-based studio production course, that incorporates seminar-style reading and discussion, and review of a global selection of artists. Projects include built work, digital proposals, and a collaborative site-specific outdoor work. No experience with art or construction is required.
