Friend, it's not the 1970s anymore. Many forms that were once too avant-garde for the "traditional institution pedagogy" have now well been institutionalized. Haha. Since I made some posts I have actually found a few professors that would have been perfectly valid as answers to my original question. As for me studying "physics...psychology...Buddhism" - It seems awfully contrived and boring to try to follow the paths of those artists in such a literal way. Like, I'm not going to study Buddhism because Robert Irwin is a Buddhist. Even if I tried to approach my studies in such a way, I would be awfully confused considering the diverse spiritual and scientific backgrounds of artists I admire.

Does anyone know of any professors currently teaching in MFA programs that do "Light and Space" art or something similar? I know most of this stuff came out of Southern California in the 60s/70s... Like large scale Robert Irwin / James Turrell stuff...? I'm also interested in large scale projections, large scale minimalist sculpture...
