WiSe 18/19: Topics in Contemporary Art
Eric de Bruyn
Comments
This course complements the Topics in Modern Art offered during the summer semester. It consists of an introduction to the major authors and debates in the history of contemporary (post-45) art. The proseminar lays the basis for your further studies and is meant to introduce you to a basic set of texts that have helped shape and transform current debates within our discipline. We will read texts by visual artists, art historians, critics and theoreticians, such as Hans Belting, Claire Bishop, Rosalind Krauss, Benjamin Buchloh, Half Foster, Craig Owens, Dan Graham, Darby English, Okwui Enwezor, Kobena Mercer, and Pam Lee as well as discuss such central concepts as post-modernism, conceptualism, institutional critique, relational aesthetics, installation art, and post-colonial critique. The course will include at least one exclusion to a current exhibition. The students will be required to actively participate in the discussions and will be assigned a text to present in class.
