Academic reading selections will evolve accordingly as the semester progresses. There will be a continued concentration on the history of contemporary painting and contemporary artists along with readings on theories that relate to work being conducted in the studio.
Initial readings will begin with:
• A Field Guide to Getting Lost by Rebecca Solnit
• The Optical Unconscious by Rosalind Krauss
• Formless: A User’s Guide by Yve-Alain Bois and Rosalind Krauss
• Chromaphobia by David Batchelor
In addition to the readings, regularly scheduled field trips will be planned to NYC to visit the Chelsea galleries and museum exhibits for further research on contemporary artists of particular interest and to supplement the readings on current history in painting.
Final products
Four papers delivered on the first of the month. The first thought piece is a reflection of the residency due Feb 1. The three middle thought pieces will include ideas about my work in relation to the readings and other artists that I have researched. How does the work relate to contemporary issues and artists and how does the medium convey these issues, all due March 1, April 1, and May 1. The final piece will be an artist statement and bibliography relating to the work that will be shown at the next residency.
In addition to the academic papers a blog will be maintained on a regular basis to document the process of the academic work (thoughts, reactions to gallery visits, readings, meetings with mentor, etc.) as it relates to the work being conducted in the studio.
