PIC-301B One: Cabinet

3 Credits

This section of ONE uses Cabinet, designed by Tuomas Makunpoika, to start explorations into students’ personal work and into collaborative work. What is there is as fertile as what is no longer present: the steel ring arrangement formerly wrapped around a wooden cabinet set on fire serves as an analogy of loss experienced by people affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Cabinet allows for investigation of memory, memorialization, nostalgia, health, aging, temporality, personal history, among other topics, and through any medium.”ONE” invites students to examine in depth one work, one ensemble of works or one major project from a thinker/maker that integrates multiple disciplines and ‘languages’ of creative practice. This in-depth investigation will be concurrent with students remaking one of their earlier pieces as well as creating an entirely new project.
