Course Description: Aesthetics and Practice in Sound Installation

Aesthetics and Practice in Sound Installation

43-2261

Aesthetics and Practice in Sound Installation is designed to familiarize the student with the aesthetics and sound production considerations that define the field of sound installation in the context of gallery and museum exhibition. Lectures will consider the significance of the pioneers of installation Art dating back to before the onset of the 20th century. We will examine the contexts, aesthetics, and tools that have built the current definition of Installation Art, specifically in the context of visual arts. Lab time will build installation pieces that respond to works we have reviewed.
