UACC 241 Collaborative Studio: Nomadic Art Practices

1.5 - 3 credits undefined hours
200 level undergraduate course

In ‘Nomadic Art Practices’ students approach contemporary artmaking through various modes of collaboration within the context of ‘nomadic’ movements. What is place in an unfixed state? How do nomadic concepts “locate” us in a world where ideas ‘migrate’ just as much as people? How can modes of collaboration help us articulate and understand the movements we make and those ideas that pass between us? As a strategy for making, migratory concepts, practices, artifacts and structures serve as conceptual entry points for creative partnerships between artists and artists, artists and communities and artists and professionals. In addition to artmaking, students will gain experience in proposal writing to clarify and develop their ideas.

Collaborative Studio engages students in cross-disciplinary and collaborative processes, building links and connections across the disciplines through diverse cultural experiences, critical writing and discussion.
