GRAD714 Graduate Seminar 3 2cr

This multi-disciplinary Graduate Seminar is a hybrid form-combining theoretical inquiry and studio practice. The intent is to bring together a group of graduate students, who undertake an in-depth exploration of a specific concept through a diversity of voices and lenses. Students engage in collaborative processes, discussion, project making, and critique, and forge connections between a multiplicity of ideas and tactics. Critical thinking and studio practice are integrated as the work is articulated and situated. Collective dialogue increases empathy and awareness of the diversity of our personal and social realities. Topics are drawn from a diversity of sources including art and cultural theory, art curatorial critique, and artists’ statements and interviews. Concepts have included the changing contingencies of ‘place in space’ and the new paradigms of ‘relationship’ in an increasingly global, immaterial and multi-sited culture.
