Historical Dress: The Park-McCullough Project Spring ‘26 Working onsite at the local Park-McCullough Historic Governor’s Mansion, students will collaborate in the design of a new exhibition centered around the museum’s “stitchery” or sewing room.

The primary goal in this class is for each student to create a theoretical thematic exhibition consisting of objects, artifacts, images or anything that has justifiable relevance. Originally born out of a visual art context, broader themes outside of visual art are possible. Students are expected to do independent research using source material from the library and the Internet

Phenomenology is the philosophical study of the structures of human experience, whereas existentialism is the study of human existence. These two movements intersect and overlap in the history of philosophy. This course undertakes a survey of these movements and their central concepts as they are found in the writings of such thinkers as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger,

Bodies carry histories, geographies, and invisible structures of everyday life. In the quiet threshold of morning, we take time to sense and attune to these layers. This fully remote, early-morning course invites guest artists based in Japan whose practices emerge from unique intersections of culture, daily life, and embodied research. Without

Expanded and invented instruments utilizing electronics, object preparations, field recordings, and non-traditional performance techniques will be used to develop unique sonic vocabularies. Working with the premise that any sound can be an instrument we will work collaboratively to share our sounds, our scores and various approaches to music making. This seminar will serve as a

Artists and curators have long embraced the southwestern U.S. desert as the landscape equivalent of the sublime yet neutral “white cube.” This course addresses the history of land art and landscape-based institutions alongside current strategies for moving these practices into literal and metaphorical new territories. Lecture-based discussions and research assignments examine

This is a studio class for any discipline intended to deepen the understanding of your own moving body. We will be studying kinesthetic anatomy by approaching the material through visual, cognitive, kinesthetic, and sensory modes. Class time will be divided between discussion of anatomy and kinesthetic concepts, and engagement with the material experientially through movement

Learn how science is conducted and participate in biological research. Students will learn how to develop, conduct, and present biological research while exploring physiological systems that mediate behavioral responses in animals. During the first half of the semester, students will gain valuable research skills, such as hypothesis formation, experimental design, statistical

Defining experimental poetry can be mystifying inasmuch as all writing can be considered experimenting with language. The notion of experimentation, however, has often been denied writers of African descent across the globe.  Often relegated to the margins in discussions of innovative and avant garde poetics, Black women have throughout time lead the charge of excavating

This intermediate moving image course will explore experimentation in form and content in non-fiction moving image.  From the earliest experiments in actualities by the Lumiere brothers to the recent homage project “Labour in a Single Shot” including autobiography, memoir, and even recreations, experimental documentaries acknowledge the fact that the very process

Women writers are notoriously overlooked by the canon, often falling into obscurity in favor of male writers’ contributions, or only recognized under the “woman writer” category. In this 2-credit class, we will trace the lineage of women’s literary invention, including their contributions to stream of consciousness writing, the Nouveau Roman, Oulipo, and contemporary

This intermediate studio course centers on experimentation with form in moving image making. Students will complete a series of film and video projects exploring approaches and techniques including but not limited to non-narrative, lyrical, abstract, structural, and materialist forms. The course will contextualize contemporary practice within the history of avant-garde and

This course will investigate the material nature of clay as a medium to create three-dimensional forms. Students will explore the material aspects of clay such as dryness, wetness, mass, scale and incorporating mix media. We will be using a variety of mechanical processes that include extrusion, slab rolling, slip casting and traditional hand building techniques. In doing so,
