Schedule	Mon 1:00 -4:00 pm Fisher St. Arts
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

Through an exploration of materials, process, and site, Sculpture I will address several ideas relevant to contemporary art. What is the relationship between form and content? When does the process of making become more important than the “object” produced? What is the relationship of craft to art production? How and when does installation become just another material? How can one’s own body become both subject and site for a work of art? These ideas will be explored through a series of projects introduced through readings, slides of historical and contemporary art, and class discussion. Technical demonstrations will include woodshop, mold making, casting, and welding.

Course	ARTH 268 Shantytown, Bidonville, Favelas
Professor	Paul Ramirez / Noah Chasin
CRN	16461
Schedule	Wed 1:00 -4:00 pm Fisher St. Arts
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

Cross-listed: Studio Art, Human Rights, SRE

The shantytown, the slum, the favela, the bidonville: these communities go by many different names worldwide. By some estimates one third of the world’s urban dwellers live in them. They arise in in-between spaces: the border between two countries, the ring between urban and rural, the unmarked area between downtown and suburb, the sidewalk between shop and street. The results are self-organizing communities that rely on political collaboration, recycling of materials, and an informal architecture based on contingency and necessity.

This course will be both a seminar and studio course. Through readings, slide lectures, discussion, and field trips, we will examine several of these communities. We will also look into how their informal architecture, improvised city planning, and use of recycled materials are influencing non slum-related projects by urban planners, architects, and artists. From the studio perspective, the class will try to negotiate the inherent problem of looking at the some of the world’s poorest communities for aesthetic value and content. Instead of borrowing shanty aesthetics, or making art about the problem (or for the problem), class production will be based on the processes that arise in the shantytown: collaboration, recycling, need, self-organization, and the use of unregulated space. The class itself—through seminar discussions and collaborative projects—will organize itself into a community. Students will participate in several charettes (intensive, design-specific working sessions) throughout the semester. This course is open to any student that has completed at least one level II production course in any media. We encourage non-studio and non-art history majors to enroll. Admission will be at the behest of the instructors.

Professor	Hap Tivey
CRN	16440
Schedule	Tu 1:30 -4:30 pm Fisher St. Arts 162
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

This course examines light as a medium in the production of artwork. The class will look at traditions of using light as volumes in space, as projections, as subject matter and as sculptural sources. We will examine techniques for generating luminous structures with conventional hardware, film, video, fire and theatrical sources. The works of Flavin, Turrel, Boltansky, Richter, Paik and Viola will figure prominently in our approach, but we will also explore ancillary contributions by a wide variety of artists working across several fields. Students will be required to work individually and on cooperative projects. Although the class will officially meet in Fisher 162, we will use a variety of spaces around the campus and work on projects in the field that may require travel times other than class hours.On-line
