Course Description

This course will investigate the ways in which artists have presented narratives in the public realm and the organizations that have made the presentation of those works central to their curatorial practices over the last 40 years. Focusing on recent works presented in New York’s public spaces by Creative Time, The Public Art Fund, the Percent for Art Program, Arts for Transit and other non-profits organizations, this course will look at what it meant to tell stories and open discourses that challenged or interrogated widely-held value systems, the events and the politics of their time. In addition to the specifics of current and other key works and projects, we will discuss the conditions that governed the development of public performance, temporary and permanent installations, the ways in which those works were influenced by public approval processes and governmental agencies, media coverage and community response. Each student’s final project will be an on-line proposal for an exhibition that conveys a “narrative“ developed in the context of this course, referencing other relevant works .

Individual Response

2. Individually, create a bullet pointed list of three to five aspects of the practice you plan to pursue that might influence or provide a means to addressing those challenges.
1. Parsons has taught me the design process of identifying a problem and working to discover solutions
2. I have learned how to not only think in terms of the individual user, but also broader user groups, and how a single design can affects on many different people
3. I have learned that something small can create big impact
4. I have learned how to take broad, abstract problems and distill them into real tangible things that people can identify with

5. I have learned that design can apply to everything
