Topic: Issues in Contemporary Art. Students will evaluate the relationship between theory, art history, and practice in contemporary art production, distribution, display, and critical reception. We will consider current exhibitions and contextualize the artists and their works within art historical and theoretical texts related to their medium, movement, and working methods as well as consider the curatorial approach to the exhibitions. Discussions of pieces by well-known artists will be combined with introductions to works by emerging artists early in their careers. Classes will include discussions about assigned readings and the presentation and evaluation of contemporary art works. Students are expected to complete all readings and come to class prepared for discussion. The class will also include visits to galleries and museums to view contemporary art works in person and to further our discussions of contemporary artists? production, curatorial practice, and institutional paradigms. Enrollment restricted to students accepted into the University of Illinois Program at the Phillips Collection. Graduate section only.
