“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.” 

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

This master class consists of a conceptual framework exploring spatial awareness as well as technical workshops in sound and video recording, painting, action/performance, installation, and sculpture. Participants will acquire artistic tools and methods to investigate spatial awareness. They will develop and exhibit a personal project. They will also be encouraged to reflect on their personal artistic practice and that of their fellow artists.

• Participants will partake in daily theoretical seminars, practical workshops, and site-specific action-performances.

• Participants will experiment with their sense and perception of space using creative techniques.

• Participants will learn how to develop a conceptual framework for an individual project in which the artistic process is central to the creation of the piece.
