“Like a little boat heading into the ocean, it is not where we are going or how we will get there that is important, but that we have embarked on the journey.”
Chen Zhen

A Studio Seminar course exploring the poetic form and social history of conceptual installation and video art, performance and documentation.
Essays for the course will expose you to the historical and political underpinning’s of these forms and its contemporary manifestation worldwide. The Artist Book in our collection at Reed will be used as examples of documentations.
Studio projects will include architecturally built forms and extensive work with Video and Illumination. In the second half of the course we will focus on the documentation of spaces and events on the Web, in Video and Artist Books.
Technical training in building, video, theatrical lighting and book/ document production will be emphasized.
This course is open to all students; painting, photo and digital students are welcomed. You need not have taken sculpture before.

Projects:
