Subject:

Art

Description:

This course surveys forms of visual expression in our time and examines individual art works, artists, and their connections to social trends, theoretical ideas, and contemporary events. Analyzing traditional painting and sculpture, multimedia installations, interactive digital media, film projections, participatory and community engaged projects, and environmental interventions, this course looks at how the definition of art has been challenged and expanded. As the art of today around the globe addresses urgent social, cultural, and political themes while providing critical grounds for art historical discourses, this course explores intersections between contemporary politics and current events and art now.
