Rituals in Practice

Rituals in Practice: Disciplines of Energetic This
course explores definitions of presence,
action, and esoteric belief to debate "the
energetic" potential in artworks. We will speak
about the space in between an object and viewer,
examining a span of film, painting, sound, and
performance art practices influenced by ritual,
repetition, psychic and meditative modes. This
studio class emphasizes exercises stemming from
conceptual and performance art traditions, as a
platform in which students can critically engage
with these themes and initiate their own projects
in video, performance, installation, and a mix of
media.
