Work in Context

Open to Art Program and Photography & Media
Program BFA3 and BFA4.

Artworks are understood within the terms of the
histories and traditions of the various media in
play, and also as they intersect with the larger
context of contemporary culture. In presenting
work for critique, students will provide the
class with a point of reference from outside
their studio - a piece of writing, or some music,
art, film, video, advertising, news. The class
will have a week to consider this frame, and an
excerpt will be re-presented with the work to
initiate discussion. There will be two
presentations each week.
