Full Course

What is sculpture? This course explores the medium’s transformation from the 1880s to the present, as autonomous object, specific site, and large-scale installation. Drawing on sculptural aesthetics and theories of objects (psychoanalytic, Marxist, thing theory, relational aesthetics), we will explore how artists have made objects and spaces that engage labor and process, the commodity and the everyday, surface and the body, the museum, the participant, and photography, film, and video. Field trip required.
Enrollment Limit: 20
Instructor: S. Hamill
