This interdisciplinary studio course focuses on the use of appropriated imagery, materials, and concepts as both a source of inspiration and as incorporated material. Within this context, students will develop imagery and content while exploring historical and contemporary themes and concepts related to appropriation. An overview of the ethics and legalities of such practices, including a reckoning with extractive methodologies of cultural appropriation will also be discussed. In addition to artistic explorations, each project will be accompanied by readings and writing assignments to support and expand on those concepts. Lectures, visiting artists, studio visits, and group critiques will all be a regular component of the course.
