Through a series of lectures, critical writings, reviews of seminal artists in this field, and a series of exercises using non-traditional media, students gain an understanding of art that extends beyond the classrooms to communities, public and private spaces, and the urban environment. By exploring the intent of site-specific work, students practice critical inquiries about the hidden and contextual meaning inherent in place/space; the aesthetics of politics and activism; the complexities of audience/performer relationships; and the ethics involved in artist/community interactions.
