The Living Culture Initiative Seminar (with Ann Hamilton)
The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio
2005-2021
Students seeking seminar enrollment, winter 2007
My teaching for the Department of Art at OSU included an annual graduate seminar shared with Ann Hamilton. While our specific pedagogical methods and intentions sometimes changed radically, the topics we considered within each Living Culture Initiative Seminar typically included:
Why look at art and why talk about it?
How is the university a place for thinking?
How is making a form of thinking?
How can thinking give pause for reflection?
How might we move from reflection (self absorption) into conversation, or,
How do we make our thinking visible and sociable?
Our seminar’s Visitors Series generated interdisciplinary conversations and projects across the university as well as throughout Columbus and the surrounding region.
