Art Since 1960
Art Since 1960
In this course we will survey the major developments of contemporary artistic practice in both America and Europe, with occasional looks to both Asia and Latin America. We will explore debates in traditional media, as well as the emergence of conceptual and linguistic paradigms, video and film, land art, installation and institutional critique, appropriation, and the current Biennial culture. In addition to a focus on formal concerns, students will also discuss broader debates active in various spheres of postwar art. Readings will include artist statements, critical and historical texts, as well as important theoretical material. 3 hrs. lect.
