LA Urbanscape

Open to Art School only. This course
may be open to students at other year levels, and
in other Schools, by Permission of Instructor.
LA Urbanscape: Image, Words & Acts. This course
will explore the interrelation between various
social, cultural, economic aspects of daily life
in 21st Century Los Angeles as its infrastructure
balances atop the physical/political fault lines
that point to assured tremors: Freeways,
mirages, smog, rumors, invisible populations,
celebrity, public surveillance, random
inaccessibility to places, people, and things.
The role of the artist in exploring ephemeral
acts against the urbanscape's vastness will be
investigated via readings, walking tours, as well
as through the creation of on-site photographic,
written, and performative works.
