Description:
This course explores diverse episodes in art-making since 1960 from both historical and analytical perspectives. The course is team-taught by CCA faculty, and offers incoming students a shared basis for discussing recently-historical and contemporary practices. CAHT presents an array of artists, artworks, ideas, and theoretical frameworks with a focus on how works of art engage social, political, and cultural contexts. Each class consists of a 90-minute lecture, followed by an hour-long discussion section. Thematically oriented and roughly chronological, the course will consider the last six decades from varying points of view, with different lectures occasionally addressing the same time period, and even the same material. CAHT is by no means a comprehensive survey, but rather a polyvocal view of the field.
