Motion and Time-Based Art

This gallery represents only some of our favorite performance pieces made during Winter 21’s VIS 2 Introduction to Art: Motion and Time-based Art class. Remarkably, most of our students are majoring in disciplines outside of Arts & Humanities and for many, this was their first studio art class. To take on a performance art studio class as an intro to making art is no mean feat, one further challenged during a time when bodies can’t safely be together in real space to learn, explore, and exhibit. I applaud all of our students for pushing themselves outside their comfort zones and rising to the challenge of thinking and using the body as canvas and material. I am truly proud of you and the development and work that you created for class. I also want to extend my thanks and appreciation to my intrepid TAs, beck and Isidro, for their hard work, sense of humor, focus, and generous support.
