Module Description: |
This module introduces students to a range of contemporary and historical Irish artists and designers whose work responds to site-specific locations, histories and cultures. It seeks to develop research skills, written and verbal articulacy and to encourage an environment of discussion and informed critical awareness inspired by place-based public art both in Ireland and internationally. The relationship between histories of landscape and histories of geographies are also contextualised in this module. Students are invited to consider how contemporary place-based artists address current socio-ecological issues today through their collaborations with urban, rural and marginalized communities.
