If, as an artist, I could wake up each day thinking about the thing I
care most about as it relates to my artwork, what would that thing be?
You can provide an answer in writing, in images, or both.
I think about where I stand in time and place in relation to things that were in the past. I think a lot about history and where I stand in the scheme of history. I think about time. Time and place changes the way things look, and time and place changes the way we look at things.
How do I relate to my surroundings? How can I comment on something that has not yet been said? Or can I comment on it in a way that has not been done? Both are valid questions that I try to ask myself...
The Artists Formerly Known As Eye & Idea
Columbia University Visual Arts 2014
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.
