FAA 2090 - Sophomore Research Studio

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Second year students who were selected by foundations faculty for outstanding and challenging artwork in their first year will undertake a critical self evaluation of their artistic methods. In short this course is designed to enable students to combine strongly conceptual art practices with the aesthetic in an interdisciplinary studio context. The course culminates in an exhibition of visual research and an online journal produced as a collaborative semester-long project. Establishing a critically informed studio research practice begins with contextualization of your artistic product. This course focuses on utilizing a broad spectrum of research methods to elevate and inform your studio work into historical context and build upon critical contemporary artistic theory. By focusing our visual research on the concepts of "database," and "liquid archive" we attempt to align and continually modify our approach to visual learning. This course is designed to mirror trends in contemporary art practice. A final exhibition will be a distillation of the visual archive generated by each student. Additionally students will collaborate on an online visual research journal showcasing their collected research.
