Description:
This course examines the relationship between space, time, and subjectivity. It delves into pivotal philosophical, social, political, and technological changes that have profoundly shaped spatial analysis through the lens of visual art. Throughout this course, we explore the concepts of 'site,' 'space/place/non-place,' and 'immobility/movement.' Our focus is the critical examination of the spatial and temporal boundaries that define site-specificity, particularly within the context of post-colonial eras. Structured both chronologically and thematically, each class theme serves as a bridge, connecting the material methods with the conceptual strategies shared by modern and contemporary art.
Capp Street Project was the first visual arts residency in the United States dedicated solely to the creation and presentation of new art installations and gave more than 100 local, national, and international artists the opportunity to create new work through its residency and public exhibition programs. In 1998, Capp Street Project became part of CCA Wattis Institute, where it has evolved into a residency program. Every year, an artist spends three to four months in San Francisco meeting the local art community, working on new projects, and teaching at CCA.
