About This Course
This Group Critique course will be conducted at the NYC Crit Club studio space in Chelsea, NY. Our studio is located at 508 West 26th Street (6E) and has elevators and is wheelchair accessible.
Artists will present their work to the group and Faculty member, Avery Z. Nelson. The class offers each artist the opportunity to present their work twice for feedback and to visit an artist studio.
For critiques artists will bring in 4-6 pieces of art to the Chelsea Studio. The first presentation will be an introduction to your work and research to the class. The second presentation will be a longer form critique, about 30+ minutes, depending on class size and schedule.
The dialogue around the critiques is research driven and peer driven. All artists in the group play a valuable role in giving feedback and suggestions that will respectively help each artist presenting. Artists are expected to come prepared for their critique / presentation with essential questions about their work and thinking to help frame the dialogue for them. Artists are welcome to show works in progress, finished work, painting, drawing, video stills, textiles, mixed media, small sculpture and video.
