ARTT 399 2024 / 2025 Artist ARTT 399/3 B TOPICS/STUDIO: IDEAS & ISSUES: THE ARTIST AS: CONTEMPORARY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES
Description
This course focuses on the “multi-hyphenate” potential and pressures of a working artist. In the 21st century labour-force, the “artist as-” curator; writer; educator; researcher; promoter; board member; art handler; entrepreneur; care-giver; gallerist; retailer (etc.) opens up both opportunities and complexities. During the year, students in this course will navigate a series of topics that unpack labour, social rituals, unwritten rules and various ways of being in “the art world”. The year will feature a roster of guests, site visits, and assignments that will support students in writing, speaking, and future-planning their practices, with a focus on local and national dynamics.
