Writing as Listening |

Description
How is writing art? How is writing art connected to writing about art? How do various theories of poetics shape writing as art? This online course addresses the craft of writing in view of urgent issues of contemporary art. Students will develop and manage their own blogs and participate in continuing online discussions. The final requirement will be a finished body of writing. This seminar proposes a meeting with several authors whose writing, whatever form it takes (philosophy, film, poetry, photography...), is foremost a manner of listening. Giving pause to the scream so inscribed in occidental literary habits, this course suggests attending to muteness in various forms as a way to sensory knowledge, and further to something like a lost memory, of writing itself. Preferring ambiguity to certitude, questions to answers, perception as knowledge, in our work together, we will visit works that call upon wounded worlds, mute worlds, worlds without appeal, still capable of metamorphosis. With Frantz Fanon, Arlette Pacquit, Claude Cahun, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Kinugasa Teinosuke, Gao Xingjian.

Description
How is writing art? How is writing art connected to writing about art? How do various theories of poetics shape writing as art? This online course addresses the craft of writing in view of urgent issues of contemporary art. Students will develop and manage their own blogs and participate in continuing online discussions. The final requirement will be a finished body of writing. Poetry and Protest, Writing for Performance is a course designed to explore a multiplicity of ways of writing for page, stage and gallery with a focus on performance writing . One need not have experience writing but more openness and interest. Through assigned texts, prompts and viewing video performances, we will experiment with ways to write and to take the personal story, experiences and shape them into non-traditional texts used for solo performance. We will examine many forms of the personal monologue: autobiographical, fictional, topical and character driven, as well as poetry, the poetic series and rendering poetry visually. There will be a particular emphasis in this class on the language of protest woven with the autobiographical and historical: the interface of the personal and political. We will write and also examine writing for performance through the lens of culture, current events, race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. The goal of the course is for students to further develop voice, work on form and content and to create a body of text that reflects them uniquely. Ultimately the body of text created could be foundations of a performance or gallery project which could also involve technology, visual art, dance, and music. Some of the artists surveyed will be James Baldwin, Sekou Sundiata, Amiri Baraka, Dorothy Allison, Audre Lorde, Ocean Vuong, Ntozake Shange, Robin Coste Lewis, Fred Moten, Layli Longsoldier, Chimamanda Adichie, myself and more. Students should be prepared to write, experiment, share with the group, read, record and present their work to others. Students will develop and manage their own online blogs and participate in online discussion.. There will be bi-weekly writing assignments and viewing prompts The final project will be 10-12 page creative writing assignment.

Description
How is writing art? How is writing art connected to writing about art? How do various theories of poetics shape writing as art? This online course addresses the craft of writing in view of urgent issues of contemporary art. Students will develop and manage their own blogs and participate in continuing online discussions. The final requirement will be a finished body of writing. This course combines study of texts on aesthetics and language¿concentrating on works that experiment with autobiographical forms¿with short writing exercises encouraging students to reimagine genres of art writing such as artist statements, interviews, press releases, and reviews. Authors explored will include Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Peter Ho Davies, Lara Mimosa Montes, Claudia Rankine and Anne Truitt. Every week, students will share short responses to readings and brief writing exercises. Students will complete a final project of their own design, one formed in conversation with their classmates. Throughout the semester, there will be regular, required synchronous meetings via Zoom for discussion of course exercises and materials.

Description
The written thesis is a significant portion of the requirements for graduation from the Low-Residency MFA Program. Its pedagogical value is equal to the significance of the thesis exhibition during the third summer residency and should be considered in tandem with the exhibition. In this course, students work with a faculty advisor to develop a written thesis that demonstrates a strong ability to synthesize conceptual relationships across disciplines in relation to the artist's practice. The submitted paper will combine theoretical frameworks to reconfigure concerns into a singular and powerful statement, and demonstrate the student's ability to address work across disciplines with confidence in writing and composition.
