Mapping a Site: In and Out of Context

Ringling College sponsors International Student Art Project

Ringling College of Art and Design is hosting students and faculty from Aalto University in Finland, Sint Lucas College of Art and Design and the Royal Academy in Antwerp, Belgium from November 1-November 10^th.

The project is called “Mapping a Site: In and Out of Context” and includes faculty and students from multiple artistic disciplines including photography, fine art, motion design and graphic design. The goal of the project is to provide students the opportunity to work collectively outside of the classroom analyzing a pre-determined site from multiple cultural and artistic perspectives. This year’s site is Spanish Point. The results of the student’s collective and individual responses to the site will be on view at Two Columns in downtown Sarasota at 1947 Ringling Blvd. on Saturday, November 9^th from 5-8PM. All are welcome.

The Ringling College faculty and students who are participating in the project will be travelling to Antwerp, Belgium in March to “map’  sites in that city for part two of the experience.
