This course offers an exploration of conceptual practices and strategies in the field of fine art photography and related media as reflecting personal and collective attitudes, social contexts, and aesthetics in visual culture. Students will become familiar with the various pivotal movements, collectives, artworks and contexts that define the field of conceptual photographic practice. We will gain a deeper understanding of relevant historic and contemporary work through online readings, lectures, artist talks, text, exhibitions and installations and learn to apply original ideas to assigned projects, research presentations, and group critiques. Topics include performance, artist books and zines, constructed images, poetics, film and video and digital formats, among others. The course encourages concept-driven experimentation and expanded photographic techniques with a focus on process and ideation.
