Individual critique sessions promote and foster abundant work and rapid progress by helping
you deepen an understanding of your art, creative process, and work methods through
focused critical feedback at regular intervals. Students meet individually with the instructor
several times during the semester for critiques, to present works in progress, and to discuss
emerging issues of individual interest. These consultations support and complement the
work in the Post-Baccalaureate Seminar. Nan Freeman is also available for meetings at
other times during normal class weeks, and for informal and impromptu consultation with
post-baccalaureate students. Post-baccalaureate students are expected to actively seek
individual critiques and consultation from their assigned faculty advisors and from faculty
members teaching studio courses in which they are working.

Students with little or no experience in performance art examine the basics of performance
art: use of time and space, the performer’s relationship to the audience, and the process
of developing original material for performance. Class exercises help us explore the use of
autobiographical material, dreams, text, and personas, as well as visual and sound elements.
We present a public showing of work in progress at the end of the semester. No prerequisites.

Actions as Art: Happenings
and FLUXUS Events
PER 2016 01 (2 Credits)

6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
B209
The roots of performance art as we know it today lie in the dematerialization of the art
object, which was manifested through various art movements in the 60s and 70s, including
Conceptualism and FLUXUS. This course will combine theory and practice. It will include
discussion of readings of seminal texts that came out of these movements, more recent
survey articles that consider the impact of this work on the broader art world, viewing
documentation of artists’ work, and recreating some of the pieces themselves. In addition,
students will be expected to make new work, either individually or collaboratively, in response
to the concepts and events that they are learning about. In keeping with the spirit of the
work, many of the class projects will occur unannounced, and take place in public sites
throughout the city. Prerequisite for undergrads: 1 SMFA performance class OR installation
class; open to grads and post-bacs
