Title	Film & Modernism
Professor	John Pruitt
Schedule	Tu 10:00 am - 12:50 pm Screening: Mon 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Cross-listed: Integrated Arts

Operating on the assumption that the study of film, a syncretic art par excellence, offers a particularly advantageous perspective on understanding the aesthetic underpinnings of 20th Century art, the course explores the relationship between a certain mode of cinematic achievement, for the most part labeled avant-garde, and the major tenets of modernist art, both visual and literary. Many of the films studied are by artists who worked in other media (such as Léger, Strand, Cornell, and Duchamp) or whose work manifests a direct relationship to various artistic movements such as surrealism, futurism,and constructivism. An attempt is made to relate certain films to parallel achievements in photography, poetry, and music, with some attention paid to relatively little-seen filmmakers such as Lye, Kinugasa, and Jennings. Much of the assigned reading is not film criticism as such, but crucial critical works that help to define modernism in general, including those by Baudelaire, Pound, Ortega y Gasset, Moholy-Nagy, and Brecht. Other films studied are by (Europeans) Vertov, Eisenstein, Buñuel, Dulac, Ruttmann, Man Ray; and (American) Deren, Brakhage, Anger, Snow, Gehr, Conner, Rainer, Frampton, et al. Three take-home essay exams.

Title	Major Conference: Multimedia Installation and Events
Professor	Leah Gilliam
Schedule	Mon 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Cross-listed: Film

This course charts a historical and critical framework for the term "multimedia" and in so doing provides source material and inspiration for the creation of projects that combine art forms and/or elude traditional categorization. Students will compose individual projects using video, slides, surveillance systems, mixers, switchers, projection systems and monitors. Through readings and screenings our discussions will examine issues of spectatorship, immediacy, interface design, spatial construction, time, boredom and performativity. Students will be encouraged to explore high and low tech solutions to their audio-visual desires and should be prepared to imagine the campus as their canvas.
