Every material has a voice. Every material remembers. What is the story of salt? What is the language of linen? What is the sound of stone? What is heard in the flow of water? Materials speak to us through poetic metaphors, sensory experiences, and elemental forces. How can we, as creative practitioners in the contemporary art world, align ourselves with metaphysical dimensions of our materials? What are the narratives of labor and production, of problematic ethics and ecological impacts that are embedded within a particular substance? Through readings, writing, research, discussion, and experimental gestures, we unearth identity and agency in our materials.Online course sections will be delivered with both asynchronous and synchronous components as outlined in the course syllabus. Required online synchronous meeting times are listed as the meeting pattern for this course section.
