This course addresses the exchange and influence between contemporary visual arts production, the media, popular culture, and the transformation of traditional social norms that program the conventions on identity. At the time of the final presentation, the transformation and the built outfit is accompanied with a set of gestures, body language, and behaviors, as well as location and situation that informs the created persona. Although sculpture oriented, the course engages in other artistic practices and includes group critiques and discussion. We read texts by authors including Jones, Goffman, Mu oz, and Schechner; and we see work by artists including Yonibare, Kusama, Clark, Duchamp, Picabia, Bausch, and Amorales.
