From the SCAD Message System:
The School of Fine Arts is pleased to announce Alfredo Jaar, world-renowned artist, architect and filmmaker, as the visiting artist to the SCAD Atlanta campus for winter and spring 2010. Jaar will conduct two consecutive “Public Interventions” classes (SFIN 444 and SFIN 744) during the Winter and Spring 2010 quarters.
Each class offers a first-hand approach and basic understanding of the complexities of interventions in public spaces. Student artists will be able to develop a public intervention project in the city of Atlanta. Because the classes are consecutive, students must sign up for both quarters.
The classes meet during select weeks, Monday – Thursday, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. (with a two-hour break). Jaar will attend class a minimum of three times each quarter. The courses are open to all majors at both the graduate (PNTG 780) and undergraduate levels (PNTG 350).
