Class Details

This studio course explores techniques and ideas of contemporary photography. The topics we will consider include, but are not limited to: Photoshop as a site of improvisation, docufiction, overlapping images, and the photograph as object. Throughout the semester we will discuss the formal attributes and conceptual underpinnings of work by artists such as Leslie Hewitt, An-My Lê, Lucas Blalock, and Sara Cwynar. Students will complete their own projects wielding the techniques and ideas discussed in class. Through slideshows, discussions, readings, and critiques students will hone a visual vocabulary informed by contemporary concerns and aesthetics.
