ART 298 - Laboratory for Experimental Photography

This course will invite students to investigate the possibilities of art and photography as an experimental medium. This class is a space to problematize, dislocate, question, expand, collaborate, share, detonate and produce in new and unexpected ways. Students will experiment diverse processes in order to articulate their work beyond the frame and expand the notions of art and photography as a medium. Technical, aesthetic, and conceptual possibilities of photography are explored through assignments, readings, lectures, slide presentations, lab work and group critiques. Students must be self-motivated and are required to do studio work outside of class times.
