Title Department Catalog Term

Description

The characteristics and implications of clay in all its states-dry, plastic, readymade, and so on-are explored in an advanced conceptual context. This course examines the subjective role of materiality. Expanding the language of clay, and the approaches to it via nonconventional methods of manufacture and installation, the involvement of recycling/ repurposing found ceramic objects and material will be the intent of the class. Some of the artist we will be looking at are Breanda Tang, Phoebe Cummings, Morel Doucet, Caroline Slotte, Magdolene Dykstra and Kjell Rylander
