In Queer Phenomenology, Sara Ahmed suggests that queerness involves a particular orientation toward the objects that appear and disappear around us. To queer objects is to engage in a “politics of disorientation,” unsettling normative ways of perceiving and using both bodies and things. This course examines the significance of everyday objects and how their design shapes our way of being in the world. Artists working in three dimensions have long turned to the ready-made to address the body, history, and relationality. Building on this impulse, the course explores how re-sculpting found objects generates new meanings. Students will experiment with objects beyond their intended functions, using them as raw material for new meanings, reordering social and spatial relations, activating a sculptural moment, and exploring how these processes can be acts of self-fashioning.
