Description:

Sculpture workshops are critique-based studio courses that investigate interdisciplinary topics proposed by faculty based on their fieldwork, experience, and expertise. Emphasis is on developing each student's individualized research and expanding their studio practice to consider broader concerns, methods, and contexts.

Inspired by the theories in Music, Body, Ecology and Psychology, students will examine dissonant experiences and phenomena around their own life, and contextualize and reshape their sculpture practice in relation with people, socio-cultural and socio-political dynamics, history and cognitive sciences. Through this course, students will have opportunities to broaden their vocabularies and to expand the impact of their work personally, socially and politically. The elements around students' sculptural work, such as space, materials, mass, site and objects will be re-contextualized by applying relational factors to their creative process such as participation of the audience, conversations, music performance and site-specificity. Through exercises, students will define their own topics, but those include but are not limited to social inclusion and exclusion, personal isolation and social connections, metaphorical importance and utilitarianism of objects and materials, the alternative ideas of nature and humans and the ecological relationships of them.
