Whether referred to as site-specific, site-responsive, or site-engaged, site is understood in interlocking and distinct ways in visual art, dance and across performance. Through the bisecting lenses of dance and visual art, this course will examine site-based work in land art, environmental and ecological art, urban intervention, community engaged practices, and public art. Art-making and performance practices that take site into account are inherently collaborative in their negotiation between place and person. Students will engage in movement practices and material explorations as a form of research into sites on and off campus.
