This session is scheduled for Mondays, March 2, 9, 16, and 23, from 10am-noon PST (that’s Los Angeles time).
Registration is $320 and includes all four sessions.
Participants gather via Zoom.
How do you make a sculpture that is ready for, and finished by the presence of human action? What kind of emptiness must exist in order for a sculpture to become an open invitation to a stranger? If a sculpture is completed by a body, must it inherently borrow the formal language of utilitarian forms like chairs, bowls, or sinks? Or does a sculpture have its own vocabulary for use?
In this Studio Session we will consider how a sculpture can be both an object and a space for fleeting interactions, or a 'performance sculpture'. Moderately absurd experiments with objects to sit on, stand on, sing from, speak upon, hold, poke, and turn, will spur consideration of the breadth of what 'functional' ceramics can be, and how a redefinition of this term can both expand upon and deviate from 'utilitarian' ceramics.
