Course Description

Summary

Social practices in art incorporates many diverse strategies from interactive media, online networks, manifestos, street interventions, social sculpture, design, performance, activism, open systems, public discourse and more. In this course we examine the history of social practice and focus in on how media and technology are impacting and shifting current practice. Students are encouraged to work collaboratively on projects that critically engage topics pertinent to this moment in history and are situated in the public sphere -- local or global, online or offline. There are lectures, reading assignments, studio projects and critiques during the course. Students from beyond the visual arts are encouraged to register.
