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.

Stage and non-stage

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages." William Shakespeare

Yet, life was happening outside the windows in Lower East Side galleries. People were populating the space not for the sake of art and its stage but for their own existence. Chelsea on the other hand is but a stage. A pretty nice stage, not gonna lie, but a stage.
