This course explores how we make meaning of the world through creative practice. In the class we perform different methods of inquiry through artistic experimentation; treating art-making as a mode of research. We examine 'practice-as-research' as a counter-point to dominant forms of knowledge, placing an emphasis on embodiment, affect, aesthetics in our creatieve work . Each week we engage with theoretical texts and then create, perform, test and reimagine the core arguments through different visual modes of communication. These responses include making zines, videos, public art interventions, social media campaigns, culture-jamming experiments etc. Through this combination of theory and creative investigation, we explore the links between audiences and researchers as well as those between the site and the impulse of inquiry. We will use these observations for our final collaborative project – a series of site-specific installations in the Theatre of the Arts Gallery at the end of term. This final project will work in conjunction with the Theatre and Performance program’s winter 2017 production.
