This course has two interrelated aims. First, we will attempt to come to terms with some of the prevalent themes and issues of contemporary art such as ‘globalisation’, ‘ecology’ and ‘relationality’ and we will consider how they have been understood by artists, critics and theorists. The second aim is to place the category of the ‘contemporary’ under scrutiny, to ask what makes a work of art contemporary, and under what conditions (aesthetic, political, ethical, geographic, economic) particular works come to be recognized as such. The module will be broadly thematic in structure, focusing on specific case studies and drawing on a range of different kinds of art writing and approach.
By the end of the module, students should have acquired:
