A SAN FRANCISCO DERIVE: DEFYING THE URBAN LANDSCAPE INTENSIVE

SEE EVENT DETAILS
A SAN FRANCISCO DÉRIVE: DEFYING THE URBAN LANDSCAPE INTENSIVEAnnie Albagli5 sessions >> Monday-Friday, March 20-2410am-4pm, Studio 10 + offsite, $460Experience working in a studio or having taken a studio based class is required. Students should have access to reliable transportation.
This week-long intensive will take the dérive—or unplanned journey—as our starting point for exploring our urban landscape in a nonlinear fashion. This course will combine readings, lectures, walks, special site and archive visits, and experimental outdoor constructions and deconstructions to defy the logical route. By participating in this class, you will interact with your surroundings, it's history, and communities in order to expand your art practice and look at “process” and one’s relation to site in a new light. Students will dedicate the week to both intensive class time and a studio practice that will culminate in a site specific work, performance, or presentation.
Please bring a bag lunch with you, and wear comfortable clothes appropriate for walking outside.
