LARTS 295 Interarts: Multi-Media Artwork
The first part of the course focuses on the importance of exchange between artists of differing media in the Modernist avant-garde movements. In particular, we will examine how the blurring of boundaries between painting, sculpture, and architecture-- together with new materials offered by science and technology-have given rise to a multitude of hybrid forms. The second part of the course takes us out into Boston to experience several works of multi-media art and to learn about these works and see them in progress by meeting with artists, heads of organizations, and members of community collaboratives who are involved with these projects.
