HIGH DESERT TRIPS

AC+D puts its curriculum into practice with short immersive trips into the field for communal, unmediated, radical, and unplugged experiences. Each year we take students to the High

Desert of California where the STUDIES HALLIE FORD SCHOOL OF GRADUATE main attraction is visiting and touring Andrea Zittel's outpost, A-Z West, which includes her studio, home, and wagon station encampment. Other engagements, workshops and studio visits in the desert include All Roads Design Studio, Yucca Valley Material Lab, High Desert Observatory, Dan Anderson formerly of VonTundra, High Desert Test Sites, Noah Purifoy Foundation, Joshua Tree National Park, and sound bathing at the Integratron.

On occasion, we also make a trip to the Judd Foundation in Marfa, TX during spring break where students have visited Judd Foundation properties such as Donald Judd's formerly private living and working spaces La Mansana de Chinati / The Block and The Studios: Architecture Studio, Art Studio, Cobb House & Whyte Building.

Both trips feature projects that are built in response to the surrounding landscapes and result in aesthetics that are influenced by nomadic cultures. These experiences expand and build upon students’ knowledge and connect them to people and places outside of Oregon to provide bursts of inspiration to inject into their studio practice.

Highlights of the academic year are group trips to regional and international design conferences with opportunities for learning

about design’s global context STUDIES HALLIE FORD SCHOOL OF GRADUATE while networking with peers. In addition to attending the Bend Design Conference, the cohort travels in 2019 to Cumulus Conference Bogota 2019: The Design After in Bogota, Columbia where tracks include Sensing the City, Sensing the Rural; Somewhere, Nowhere: Wicked Design; De-innovation, Fiction, and Autonomy; Design and Counterculture; and Biodiversity- Driven Design.

WEEKEND WORKSHOPS

These three-day intensives offer an opportunity to build specific skills, techniques, and ways of working while benefiting from the domain expertise of instructors drawn from the design field whose inquiries into the intersections of politics, engineering, environmentalism, and design have resulted in a range of provocative and innovative projects.

Topics of exploration have included web-based networks that regulate social and environmental accountability, mapping software that enables people to avoid CCTV surveillance, traditional ecological knowledge mapping, ecosystem design, process design for tsunami cleanup, gardening robots, edible clouds, and cross-species picnics.

CONFERENCES

Through faculty mentor modeling and informative panels at the residencies and through the student’s packet work with faculty mentors, our program prepares and encourages students to attend the annual Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) and Modern Language Association (MLA) Conferences. Our program will have a presence at the AWP Conference, both onsite recruitment and offsite reading and performance events with students and faculty mentors. Furthermore, literary translators and experimental writers might want to attend smaller conferences like American Literary Translation Association Conference (ALTA) and the NonFiction NOW Conference. Students in low-residency MFA programs often enjoy attending writing conferences because such conferences hold additional space for students spread around the country to come back into community.
