This course examines the relationship between making and writing in contemporary art. We will read, dissect, and discuss a spectrum of recent texts by artists, critics, and literary authors. In addition to these class conversations, students will be asked to regularly write short exercises and engage in weekly critiques. Over the span of the semester, students will improve their writing and produce a finished professional text in the form of a critical essay or artist proposal. This is a course that is geared to upper-division and graduate-level students and encourages enrollment from across all media and disciplines, including craft practices and performing arts.
