ART IN THE HUDSON VALLEY
OCTOBER 14-19, 2020 Course Description This six credit Field Studies class will investigate key movements in modern and contemporary art and develop concepts for creating art that responds to a specific location while exploring museums, installation art, and sculpture parks in the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York during prime fall foliage season. Day trips including Storm King Art Center, Dia Beacon, Art Omi, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as trips to local farms and mountain hikes, will serve as the inspiration for experimental art, readings and reflections, discussions of human relationships with land, development of project proposals, and creation of work for an outdoor site-specific location and gallery space. Students are encouraged to use materials found on site, consider the ethical implications of their approach, and experiment with forms such as video, performance, sculpture, and installation.
Students must be prepared to walk/hike for several hours each day. Access to a cell phone with internet service and camera is highly recommended for this course. |
Must co-enroll in ART 1823 Site Specific Art & Installation or ART1100 and ART2213 Modern and Contemporary Art. On-campus dates: Oct 1, 22, 29 (4pm to 7pm). Field Study: Oct 14-19. Please register by August 5 to ensure you seat! Fee: $1298 (Includes all flights, hotels, admission, tours, and some meals.) |
