Professor Rachel Budin has organized for students to visit the Bodys Isek Kingelez: City Dreams exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. This is an exhibit on design and model making. The artist is Bodys Isek Kingelez or Jean Baptiste, a sculptor and artist from the Democratic republic of Congo known for his models of fantastic cities, made of cardboard, paper, tape and other commonplace materials. The use of found materials in model making has direct applications to both set design and costume construction. The overall principles of design, use of color, texture and composition are part of the curriculum in Basic Lighting and Set Design. The intercultural and sustainable aspects of this exhibit support the mission pillars of the College.

Students enrolled in Professor Marc Gidal’s “Music in Asia” and “Music, History, and Culture” courses will take a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to learn to understand a selection of music traditions in their cultural and historical contexts. They will examine paintings, sculptures, religious objects, architectural artifacts, and decorative objects to understand better the aesthetics, symbols, artistic practices, patron institutions, religious and secular values, and other aspects of the cultural settings that are applicable to both art and music.
Students enrolled in Professor Yolanda del Amo’s Advanced Photography course will take a field trip to MOMA to visit the “Stephen Shore” exhibit. Stephen Shore is one of the most important American photographers of the 20th century. He was one of the early color photographers of the 70s who redefined what was considered a “fine art photograph,” and his work has been highly influential for generation of contemporary photographers. This exhibition encompasses the entirety of the artist’s work of the last five decades and is a unique opportunity to expose students to original works that they have learned about in class.
Students enrolled in Professor Yolanda del Amo’s Digital Photography class will visit the “Generation Wealth” exhibit by Lauren Greenfield at the International Center of Photography Museum.
Lauren Greenfield is one of the most important contemporary documentary photographers. Her work addresses issues of class, power and gender in contemporary America. The students will have the unique opportunity to see original works that they will learn about in class. They will not only appreciate her technical excellence while they are acquiring basic lighting and composition skills, but also learn in depth about the artist through this exhibition, which is the most significant so far in the United States.
