Rip It Up and Start Again

During this class we will investigate the
significance of collecting materials relevant to
each of our practices. We will explore the
possibilities for arranging those materials into
various forms, particularly collage. How can a
collage reveal one's desires? We will consider
this while looking at artists, performers and
writers through a queer lens. Over the course of
the semester, each student will create either a
series of collages, a scrapbook, music or a film
using their own collected materials. This course
will involve readings, lectures, film screenings,
field trips, and student presentations.
