DESCRIPTION
Through collaborative and participatory dynamics, this studio course looks into conceptual and practice-based approaches in public art. We adopt chance operations, design thinking, disruptive strategies, and artistic methodologies - towards that which is not yet. Art practice is viewed as a process, a way of thinking, engaging, and experiencing in different contexts.
The course is divided into a theoretical and experimental phase, followed by a design process, which leads to the execution of a collaborative public work of art. It can be through mural painting, public intervention or other forms of public art and new genres, relational, site-specific, etc. The experimental, design and execution phases are non-linear and intertwined.
The objective is for participants to explore and develop their ideas and interrogate the impact of public art in communities. The course will enable students to manipulate elements of form, specific media, techniques, and safety measures aimed at public spaces. They will develop proposals into actual projects through guided design processes.
