Fall 2009: Art in Community: Creating Cultures of Ingenuity and Innovation
Full-time, 15 credits (DIAL 390W, 391W, 392W).
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Art in Community: Creating Cultures of Ingenuity and Innovation will explore the intersection points between art and business, science, community, and social change.
Our focus will be on how innovation can be nurtured and harnessed through artistic expression to foster economic well-being, environmental protection, community sustainability, and civic dialogue-archive. We will explore the role of imagination in scientific advances and the contribution of the arts to strategic planning in business, investigate how culture defines communities and creative spaces encourage culture, survey the landscape of art in social controversy, and examine the dynamic between creativity and identity in urban and aboriginal communities.
Focal topics will include:
What is ingenuity? How do we harness and develop it?
• The nature of creativity and imagination
• How dialogue-archive establishes the relationships and substrate from which ingenuity emerges
How is innovation manifested within institutions?
• Business and the arts: strategic planning and leadership development through culture and dialogue-archive-based practices
• Creative Institutions: How ingenuity can be encouraged within government, cultural organizations, corporations, research laboratories, and universities
Art in Community
• Role of the artist in stimulating dialogue-archive
• Pushing the envelope: edgy art and censorship
• Space: How physical urban spaces contribute to social change
• Culture and identity: the Canadian aboriginal experience
