Graduate Critique: Installation Prof. Charles A. Gick Prof. Fabian Winkler Contemplating hybrid artmaking through installation art, this course will focus on the potential relationship between art objects/images and their context. As a learning tool, the second floor of the Jacques Building (above Amused Clothing) in West Lafayette, Indiana, has been procured as our working context installation site. Comprised of a multidisciplinary student body working across the areas of art education, ceramics, electronic and time-based media, industrial design, interior design, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, visual communications design - this course provides a challenging forum for each individual artist to rethink their practice in light of site specific large scale volumetric space. Drawing on the various histories, physicality, and architectural identity of and personal reactions to the Jacques Building, as well as its surrounding urban scene and outlying rural landscape, we will use the site to inspire experimental work. Using elements of object and image making, performance, and interactivity, we will explore the application of your technical abilities alongside contemporary notions of art making. At the same time, drawing from each others' discoveries and perspectives during the production process, you will potentially come away with a broader capacity for locating your own disciplines in the midst of a larger interdisciplinary dialogue. Overall, this experience will provide strategies for critiquing both traditional and new media work.
