Like a science lab, the painter's laboratory is a place for practice, observation and testing. This studio class is suitable for anyone wanting to explore and develop as a painter. The goal is to enhance seeing and to translate that highly personal skill into paint. We study and experiment with how to generate ideas, how to develop subject matter, how to build on and incorporate previous training and experience (including nonvisual), and how to engage the vastness of contemporary and historical arts as a mentor and ally. Lab skills include how to gather and use visual information for painting through collecting, drawing and notation. This is a hands-on lab; the medium is acrylic paint. Materials fee.

An examination of the filmmaking of postcolonial, Third World and other displaced subjects living in the West. We explore many of the shared themes, metaphors and symbols of these films, among those: alienation, displacement, journeying, nomadism, borders, migrancy, homelessness, nostalgia and home-seeking. We also examine and discuss certain styles that characterize these films, many of them demonstrating fragmented, multilingual, epistolary, interstitial and self-reflexive characteristics. In most of these films, identity is not fixed but is represented as a process of becoming and transformation.
