ARTHST 145 - New York Semester on Contemporary Art

Institution:

Drew University

Subject:

Description:

A survey of art from 1945 to the present for which, one to two days each week (depending on credit hours), students travel to New York City to view museum and gallery exhibitions, c/s,/s, visit artists' studios and meet other professionals in the field. These visits are contextualized through a weekly seminar on campus focusing on this vibrant period, which witnessed a radical expansion in the definition of artistic practice and the art object, and the emergence of the concept of "postmodernism" - a direct challenge to the "modernist" approach to art making that reigned at mid-century in the United States and Europe. Amount of credit established at time of registration. Offered fall semester.
