Visual Arts, Columbia University, New York

This course examines ways of looking and ways of seeing, both personally & professionally as artists and in a larger cultural context. Through field trips to contemporary art and other cultural sites, conversations with visiting critical thinkers and practicioners, readings, discussions, and visual & written responses, we will examine how we look, think, act, create and respond--critically questioning our own artistic practices and ways of looking at the world.

Hohutsefinam

Be Great or stop being. Authentic. Unapologetic. Politically incorrect. Farse. Crass. BOLD. Give the world and everyone in it the finger sometimes! Laugh in the face of a crier. Piss on regrets. Shit on the coward. Raise both fists in the air and take aim at the nay sayers. Do an about face and grab fear by the balls! BE BLACK. BE BLACK!! Fuck the rules. Say it loud. LOUD. Be noticed. Make a mark. Unique. UNAPOLOGETICALLY REAL. Dance at the funeral of a gaping asshole. Irrevent. Age but never grow old. Laughter is the sharpest sword. Laugh at it all. All is fleeting. Embrace simplicity. Love is hard, so Love harder. Time moves in one direction, make every second count. Live hard. Live real. The past is unreal. Living is a temporary state so make mistakes. Life is priceless. Time time time time. Tomorrow is not promised. The only moment that matters is now. Breathe. Look at Life with closed eyes. No one is worth more than I. Seek God. I know my purpose. Everything I will ever be, I already am.
