Bio

Teresita Carson (b. Mexico; she/her) is an artist working across disciplines, including moving image, new media, fiber, and installation. Taking an irreverent feminist approach to world and counter-archive building, she explores the abstract intersection between the historical, the speculative, indigenous cosmogonies, and magical peripheries. Recent venues presenting Carson’s work include Mana Contemporary, Sullivan Galleries, Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (CICA Museum), Hyde Park Art Center, Gallery 400, and the Cleve Carney Museum of Art. She has screened her experimental films internationally, notably at the Slamdance Film Festival, the Chicago Underground Film Festival, Light Matter Film Festival, Festival Internacional de Cine con Medios Alternativos, Antimatter, Experiments in Cinema, and at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Carson has received grants from DCASE’s Individual Artists Program (IAP), and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Carson holds a BFA from The School of the Art Institute and an MFA from the University of Illinois Chicago.

Description

In this class, students will learn reactive processes for use in screen printing on fabric and pliable materials. Reactive processes are those that will chemically or physically alter the nature of the printed cloth and include; fiber reactive dyes, devoré or the burning away of fibers, bleaching and removing of color, and the sublimation of color from one surface to another. Screen printing will be the primary method of creating works, yet a broad disciplinary approach is encouraged.
Assignments will be framed to address concepts of alchemy and instability, and include readings of works by; Georges Bataille, Anthony Vidler, Luce Irigaray, Yve-Alain Bois and Rosalind Krauss.
Students will create three studio intensive projects for class critiques. Prior screen printing experience is recommended.
