Course notes
This course further develops a bicultural understanding of various professional art contexts. Students will gain insight into where and how they might choose to locate their art practice, looking at and thinking about the variety of ways in which art is presented.
In this course, galleries and other contexts are explored, including online exhibition, artist books, public sculpture, event-based practice and more. Students survey the variety of ways artists share their practice before selecting a favourite strategy for further investigation, applying it to their own creative work.*
A three-week module dedicated to growing students appreciation of Aotearoa’s founding document - Te Tiriti o Waitangi - helps students ground their practice.
* New creative work does not need to be made for this course. Instead, work from another of the student’s core studio courses can be used through a new and appropriate strategy, extending the work’s impact.
