Art 282 - The Expanded Field Spring 2020
“Sculpture is a medium peculiarly located at the juncture between stillness and motion, time arrested and time passing.”
Rosalind Krauss
A large number of postwar European and American sculptors became interested in both theater and the extended experience of time. This expanded field includes kinetic and light art, environmental works, architecture, as well as happenings and performance art. Real time and real motion were central to much of the work then and has remained at the core of our experience of installation works now.
As viewers, we are most often asked to perform, move, reconsider our position in the space, and in relation to the world.
You will read and discuss issues in Krauss’s essay, such as phenomenal and spatial representations. You will create the piece that directly dialogs with nature and the landscape (a marked site) around the art building.
