Program Description: In this studio art, students create site-responsive artworks across media created in response to our visits to museums, galleries, sites, and exhibitions in London and Brighton, UK. Studio work and research explore what it means to make art in a global art world (sculpture, drawing, zines, graphic works, animation, photography, installation and/or performance). We will work in the new media studios at the University of Sussex, and students will live on campus at the University. This class includes art making, lectures, docent tours, museum visits, discussions and critique by UK artists and a final gallery exhibition on campus. More information can be read here.
