Visual artist, philosopher
In the last decade, a new field of inquiry pertaining to the object, its materiality and its agency has emerged in art and philosophy. Speculative realism, new materialism and object-oriented ontology are examples of areas of research and practice that now circulate in conversations about the question of subjectivity and the role of the object. These varied approaches have implications for art practices organized around both objects and events, activist strategies that address the objectification and oppression of marginalized people, and ecological considerations accounting for the "experience" of nonhuman entities, both organic and inorganic. In this course students will explore texts and artworks that address objecthood from personal, technological, political and ecological perspectives, and produce their own art and writing in response. Artists are invited to use the media of their choice, from traditional to new media. All levels are welcome.
