Binding Agents: Toward an Aesthetic of the Postcolonial in Contemporary ExhibitionThrough selected readings of theoretical texts and directed discussions of exhibitions and art institutions, this seminar includes critical analyses of artworks and exhibitions by artists and curators from the late 1980s to the present whose work engages with questions of nation state, immigration, and colonialism. The course includes close studies of recent perennial exhibitions—including Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster, Istanbul Biennial, and the recent 2019 Venice Biennale—to study curatorial strategies and institutions practices for tracing and identifying, as an academic group, an aesthetic of the postcolonial in contemporary exhibition and institution practices. The course is open to all CCA graduate students.
