CURPR-6020: Critical Theory/Art History 2

Course Description

Binding Agents: Toward an Aesthetic of the Colonial in Contemporary Art. This course builds off of Contemporary Art History Theory from Fall. Through selected readings and discussions, this seminar course includes critical analyses of artworks and exhibitions from late modernism to the present by artists and curators whose practices engage with questions of nation state, immigration, and colonialism. The course includes close studies of recent perennial exhibitions - such as Documenta 5 and Skulptur Projekte M nster 2017 - organized by institutions in the West with satellite or branch components in non-Western parts of the world. Overall, we'll seek to define an aesthetic of the colonial in contemporary artistic practices and exhibitions in order to consider the efficacy of critical positions within the context of globalized contemporary artand visual culture.
