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.

WTF MET

Constance showed us Auguste Rodin's marble sculpture "Cupid and Psyche" (ca. 1893), which is a work about love, divinity, the ideal form... and I found myself completely distracted by the opposite of these things: scratch marks all over the pedestal. I feel like the Met Museum is slacking.
