Description: This course is an inquiry of contemporary art practices that complicate, simplify and question our understanding of the human experience. Students will study the work of artists, musicians, fashion designers, social scientists and writers. We will research W.E.B DuBois's Data Portraits for the 1900's Exposition Universelle in Paris, Rei Kawakubo's fashion philosophy, Ball and Drag culture and more. To help contextualize these practices, students will develop a visual language of their own by materializing body, image, and sound.
