Objects in Photographs (Online, 2 weeks 12/1/20 - 12/15/20)
A 2-week online course focusing on the specific genre of sculpture made expressly to exist in photographs and photographs whose subject matter is manmade objects. Additionally, we will talk about photography as a practice used by sculptors as a form of research, journaling and capturing ephemeral art and performance. We will look at the work of artists such as Andy Goldsworthy, Thomas Demand, Robert Kinmont, Daniel Gordon (to name a few) and instances of art/objects by one artist photographed by another. This class is intended to demystify photography and render it accessible as a useful tool for all creative thinkers.

Instructor: Daniele Frazier
Daniele Frazier is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Originally from Mill Valley, California, she graduated from the Cooper Union School of Art in 2007 where she received the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Trust Award. Daniele has created five public artworks and maintains a studio where she makes sculptures and drawings. Her process intersects her interest in formal aesthetics with a research-based and socially-engaged practice. She focuses on themes of ecology, climate change, natural history, art history, and social critique. Daniele’s work humorously addresses the politics inherent to public art itself such as gender inequality, the difference between public and private space, and the definition of ownership.
Daniele has worked extensively with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and her work has been shown at Guild & Greyshkul, Museum 52, Rivington Arms, Ritter Zamet, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Gavin Brown’s Passerby, among others. She was in the class of OS5 at the Oxbow School and has returned as a visiting artist lecturer.
