ART 2690 - Postmodern Art and Beyond

Credits: 4
Contemporary art is always evolving. Many cultural shifts took hold in the 1960s. How did this impact art and its processes? How did it influence the comprehension of art itself? This course will provide an understanding of those cultural shifts and how they became the context for art-making. Through readings, lectures, discussions and experiential field trips we will explore what is contemporary art and why it is important to the human condition. The course will consist of readings, watching/reading online content, written assignments, online discussions, digital presentations, and class trips.
