Content
This unit gives students the opportunity to develop their skills in producing art in public spaces. It allows for students to take risks with their creative practice, but in a contextualised and supported learning environment. Working with experts in the field of public art, and conceptualising and revealing narratives in different public contexts, students will develop a project that builds on, problematises and/or challenges conventional approaches to art in public spaces. Both options give students the opportunity to develop key technical and conceptual skills through workshops, lectures, studio intensive weeks, critical discussion and seminars. Students will engage with many facets of public art while developing projects that respond to and question contemporary issues around: place-making; contemporary visual narratives; public spaces; social practice; the artist as provocateur; collaboration; spectacle and the object.
