Topic: Contemporary Painting Lecture. Although painting was proclaimed dead in the 1980s, it has returned with a vengeance in recent years (indeed, it never left). From abstract to figurative work, painting runs the gamut from appropriative or conceptual to downright neo-traditional, while likewise effecting -- and being effected by -- media as diverse as sculpture, installation, film, and new media. In this course we will examine the expanded field of contemporary painting, as heterogeneous as it is ubiquitous, investigating practice and discourse alongside painting's contextualization within cultural institutions and commercial venues. Enrollment is restricted to students accepted into the Illinois at the Phillips Collection program in Washington D.C. UIUC students will also meet Wednesdays 10:00 to 11:00. Graduate Section. Undergraduates register for ARTH 491.

Topic: Arts Yearbook Seminar. Once considered insufficiently historical to be approached as an academic object, art of the very recent past now comprises the subjects for many dissertations and research projects. By looking closely at art made and exhibited in the last calendar year, this course asks, in short, how we come to understand contemporary art. Additional topics include: What is the difference between contemporary art history and art criticism? How do we work on living artists, and what status does the interview assume? What constitutes our primary research? And how do we decide what merits such attention at all? Enrollment is restricted to students accepted into the Illinois at the Phillips Collection program in Washington D.C. Graduate Section. Undergraduates must enroll in ARTH 491.
