60-431 Advanced SIS: Installation

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course explores a broad range of sculptural issues concerning the practice of Installation Art. This Studio course will primarily emphasize immersive environments but not necessarily, given the circumstances of remote learning and ones bedroom as studio, or a similar venue, small and intimate may be more appropriate. Students expected to involve an ensemble of elements objects, found, purchased, reused, appropriated, made from an array of any kind of materials including natural materials combined with timebased media video, audio, performance, light etc. to create relationships within a particular space possibly as a site specific venue in order to immerse the viewer within. Consider the notion of an immersive stage set, and the importance of documentation, Fabricated To Be Photographed, Video graphed, Digitally Imaged andor Performed In. Emphasis is on research about place and the proposal process for a specific context. Various artists, strategies, methods and materials will be investigated through projects, readings, lectures, visiting artists and discussions. Exercises and gestures are assigned initially, then students are expected to propose and establish their own projectspractice later in the semester.
