Art methodologies have the advantage, in principle, of being unconstrained by the kind of logical parameters that many, if not most other disciplines consider both a necessity and a requisite virtue. In this elective, students will explore artists’ approaches to art-making which challenge ideas of rational thought and normative concepts of progress. Using multiple examples of artworks and art practice as the basis for analysis and discussion, students will gain understanding of alternative mechanisms of persuasion, critique or surprise. By testing the world materially, in eccentric ways, we will explore how art extends imaginative parameters critiquing established behaviours in order to accommodate and instrumentalise the otherwise unthinkable. Students will be encouraged to consider strategies of mischief, failure and indeed idiocy as approaches affording license, to learn and to posit questions of how else the world might be, rather than something to be avoided or thought of as aberrant. Beneath the surface of such strategies there is an acknowledgement that to seek things in unexpected quarters, sometimes with no promise of specific reward, can be made to pay dividends.
