ARTS 6230 - Inflatable Sculpture

This class studies, creates, and publicly presents inflatable sculptures. The history of inflatables are examined, with special attention paid to how they have been used in political movements that imagine utopian social futures, and how those applications contrast with commercial uses (such as advertising) that have become commonplace in public spaces today. Throughout, the class will explore, design, and build inflated structures that may include video and sound elements. Graduate students will also be required to write a paper.
