This course traces the origins of installation art as early as 1923 when El Lissitzky created sculptures that occupied the corners of his “Proun Rooms”. In this advanced level studio course, students investigate contemporary and other historical artists who work in this genre. Students work on and off-campus to create their own installation-based works. Field trips are taken to view locally exhibited examples of installation art. At the conclusion of this course, students understand the vernacular of installation art, and create their own installation-based work confidently. Prerequisite: FD 2120 Visual Design 2. Non-Fine Arts majors accepted upon department Chair’s or department Head’s approval. Must be a junior or a senior.
