FAR/ARU 504:
Art on Site: Teaching Discovery and Invention
June 24 - July 6, 2013
KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY
is pleased to offer Teaching
Discovery and Invention. This institute will focus on
ways that we can de-mystify the creative act for our
students and ourselves.
An overview of the work of
artists that use non-traditional methods of creating
sculpture outside of the studio will begin this two-week
studio course. Land Art, Site Specific Art,
Installation Art and Performance Art are all examples of the
way that artists began to close the distance between
themselves and their audiences while at the same time
opening up the definition of how art could be engaged. We will create temporary
artworks at a number of places around the region. These works will be made from
materials collected at the sites and will address such
issues as the relationship between nature and culture, the
public and the private and the impact that the specific site
has on its users.
We will be exploring the way
that art can function when it is taken out of the
traditional viewing spaces (gallery, museum, studio) and
placed in contexts that are directly related to everyday
experience.
We will work at three different
sites over six days developing concepts and forms for
temporary low-impact artworks that will then be created. We will document the evolution
of each artwork in sketches, photos and video. The last three days of the
institute will be spent creating individual digital
portfolios using this documentation.The
transfer of these activities will be considered for K
through 12 instructions.
