Dialogues and Practices is a required course delivered in a two semester sequence, in which first year students are introduced to each other, a broad range of Program faculty, and the culture of critique at the core of the Program. Dialogues and Practices 2 is the second course in the sequence, and, in it, students deepen the focus and experience of group critique. It serves as the central course to prepare students for their Advancement review, which occurs at the end of the Spring semester of their first year. Dialogues and Practices 2 is designed to cultivate individual methods of experimentation with an artistic practice, with the aim of moving the conceptual and formal aspects of a student’s work beyond the level and quality exhibited upon entry into the program. Attendance at Graduate Lectures Series artist talks are a requirement of the course.This two hour course meeting block may be delivered synchronously or asynchronously. One additional hour per week of optional faculty office hours, for individual or small group meetings, will also be available by arrangement.
