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.

What's an image ?

I'm totally agree with the Emily's point of view about the nature of the images. I think that each image is necessarly the result of a mental selection, conscius or unconscius. Emily wrote this following sentence : "(...) images vary from person to person. An image for one person is not an image for the next necessarily". I'm happy to think that, even if it's right to think that the images are not universal, we can share this idea, in a universal way. Better than the images, we can share a rich and valuable point of view about it.
