In this course students will consider the role between contemporary art and fashion and the overlap which exists between these medias. Art and fashion are constantly referencing one another and borrowing ideas. Considering the history of art production, students will apply artistic strategies to challenge traditional form and function, while reflecting on the construction of gender, politics and contemporary culture. Students will produce art objects, as well as participate in reading, discussions and field trips. Individuals will examine their own artistic practice and the manner in which one can create garments, sculptures, installations or performances to transform wearable material into a critical tool.
