“Picture and Questions: the Cohen Explorations Seminar examines pictorial construction” |
|
April 17-24, 2008 What began as a seminar aimed at providing an intensive environment to develop the materially specific language of drawing and painting, quickly expanded away from inherited notions of what these media represent to coalesce around a rubric of “pictorial construction.” Using Jan Verwoert’s notions of a situative strategic painting that is immanently conceptual, Peter Bürger’s critique of a neo-avantgarde, and Jeff Wall’s ideas around depiction, the seminar grappled with the proposal of making pictures. Participating Students: Jennifer Wanner, Nicole Rayburn, Steve Lyons, Lyndsey Matchett, Ashley Guindon, Katja Beneke, and Robert Williams.
