VES 24 - Painting, Smoking, Eating

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Titled after Phillip Guston, this course has two agendas: technical assignments that improve your ability to move paint around, and laying conceptual groundwork for personal projects. One task of an artist is to have a relationship with a world. We will discuss the social role of artists and the boundaries between interior and exterior discourse, with an emphasis on artists' writing, both critical and self-reflexive, treating self-expression as well as abnegation: auteurs, flaneurs, ventriloquists.
