We begin with a body and spend our lives representing, indexing, performing, expressing, camouflaging, revealing, adorning, contextualizing, and recontextualizing that body. This course will look at how artists have made work to intervene in this process. Alongside other aspects of visual culture, we will take protest as a key site of the political body that we will break down into voice, movement, text, and mass media. Studio work will explore strategies of representation through mixed media, drawing, painting, photography and performance. The course will include visiting artists and a museum or gallery visit.
