Class Details

This inter-disciplinary course explores the intersections of artistic and scholarly inquiry, looking at ways in which artists have engaged in studies outside of their own discipline in order to inform their artistic practice. Students will be introduced to artists from Albrecht Dürer to Mark Dion, whose rigorous investigations in the realms of science, mathematics and music to social and political histories have directly impacted and shaped their work.
