The course will enable the fundamentals of contemporary artistic practices through the structures of Time, Space, Place and (Im)materiality. Students will be urged to develop questions and expressions through a basis in practice of visual and other media forms. The course will engage experimentation in 2-Dimensional, 3-Dimensional and time based media to arrive at ideas and concepts through formations of repetitions. The objective of this course is to enable students with foundational clarity in contemporary artistic practices and its possibilities. Since it is a studio based course, certain introductions to histories of abstraction and installation art will be provided through the framework of revisionist art practices after the 1960s as well as provide introductions to affective possibilities of artistic languages. Both these realms will be expanded through making of artistic form and references towards art practices.
