Advanced Photography: Henry Wolf Chair

This course is intended to help students clarify and further the growth of their own work through group and individual critiques, classroom presentations and discussions with a contemporary photo based artist in the position of the Wolf Chair. 

Fall 2026, FA-368-1, Advanced Photography: Henry Wolf Chair, S Wolukau-Wanambwa: This course addresses contemporary art practices through the concept and practice of ‘rendering,’ which can imply the generation of images, the delivery of performances, the distillation of one substance from another, the application of treatments, or the satisfaction of debts. Renderings can be faithful or transformational—they are unconditioned by the requirement of fidelity—but they constitute a translation effected across form(s), across thresholds. Students will conceive of their work through this framework, develop and share original work in group critique. The course will comprise group readings, discussions, lectures, museum and studio visits, student presentations and group critiques, along with interactions with practitioners in the field relevant to the course’s core theme.

 

3 credits. Pre-Req: L/S/P I and Pre/Co-Req: L/S/P II. May be repeated.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
