Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

This course is designed with the aim to provide students with an overview of contemporary art practices through a study of major artistic and critical approaches since the second half of the 20th century. The course will start with an examination of modernism and continue with a discussion of minimalist and conceptualist tendencies and other critical movements that led to the emergence of what we now call contemporary art. Through a study of art works, critical texts and visits to exhibitions the course intends to introduce the shifting course of thinking from modernism towards global contemporary art. Rather than a chronological and exhaustive survey, the course will investigate key moments and theories that formed the critical and contextual framework that continue to inform contemporary art practice and theory.

What is art? What is Contemporary Art?
Understanding Modern Art
Abstract Expressionism & American Modernism
Transformation of Everyday Objects
Art Object, Space, Spectator: Minimalism to Installation Art

Feminist Approaches in Art Practices
The Ends of Art: Warhol, Pop Art and Consumer Culture
The Art World and Its Others
Body and Performance Art
Participatory Art: Relational Art and Social Concerns in Art Practice
Art and Globalisation
