VPSC94H3: Theory and Practice: Art and Place

This open-media studio-seminar will focus on contemporary art practices that are invested in the relationship of art to place, exploring topics such as Indigenous land-based knowledges; feminist and anti-racist approaches to geography; ecology and sustainability; accessibility, community, and placemaking; public and site-specific art, and the gallery and museum as context. This course will also take a critical look at systems that organize space including mapping, navigation, land use, public and private property, and institution spaces. Students will conceive, research, and develop art projects that address place and land-based subject matter.
