Art 282 – Sculpture in the Expanded Field
2015 Projects
The Expanded Field: Immaterial Objects
In the last project we will investigate phenomenological experience. The 1972 Rosalind Krauss essay, “Sculpture in the Expanded Field” will give you a historical perspective on works that are theatrical and installation based. You will be asked to make a work that expands the field of sculpture, moving it from the pedestal in a gallery to the world by making something that is architectural in scale and scope. Your materials/form will be transportable; we will use cloth, rope and wood or metal frames to make the work. You will be exposed to numerous artists working in this vain such as James Turrell, Robert Irwin, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Alfredo Jaar, Janet Cardiff and others.
