Light-Space Art
Parsons School of Design: School of Constructed Env.
CRN: 10638
Credits: 3
In 1969 Robert Irwin and James Turrell outlined a new direction for art that identified viewer experience as the critical outcome of creative production and established visual perception of space as a principal concern. Light was recognized as the primary medium for investigating these ideas and the field of Light-Space Art emerged. This course combines seminar and studio methods to introduce Light-Space Art through precedent research, field trips, technology workshops, and development of an installation proposal. The class installation will be contextualized in a hypothetical healthcare waiting room setting with the intention to immerse the participants in a self-reflective or calming experience.
