Art 146:
Special Topics in Intermedia: Artists’ Writings
Syllabus
This course will explore the writings that various artists produce
in conjunction with their own art works. These writings range from
discrete documents to personal and critical commentaries on art, politics
and life. In conjunction with assigned readings of established artists’
writings, the class will produce its own statements, manifestos, origin
myths and critiques of their own work as well as the work of others.
These writings will be collected to produce a collaborative book of
works as a final project. Students may also make art based on their
writings in this class. This course is essential for anyone who wants
to learn to write about art work or who wants to produce writing in
conjunction with their own art. This writing can take of form of developing
concepts, using writing as a tool for communicating art ideas, writing
to map out performance ideas or artistic writing as an art form in
and of itself. This course may be used to fulfill a writing requirement.
Class time will consist of discussions of readings, writings, critiques
of art work and studio work time.
