NOT OFFERED 2009/2010 Bright Lights/Big City is a cross-disciplinary course for artists and designers that looks at the nature of contemporary urban space from multiple perspectives. The modern city as "concrete" space and as image has been imagined, constructed and reflected upon by artists and designers working in a diverse range of fields including urban planning, architecture, landscaping and public art. The results of their work, which influence the social, spatial, historical and political dimensions of the city are the territory we explore in this course. Of special interest, is the exploration and encouragement of events and practices in which the art and design of the city achieves forms of synergy. A wide range of related media and disciplinary fields, including existing public art and urban design, will be investigated through lectures, case studies, field trips, guest lecturers and group and individual assignments in an attempt to engage the layered nature of private and public urban experience. |
