This class introduces students to some of the major themes, questions, and problems occupying visual artists today and provides a historical context for understanding them. The course examines a diverse range of issues in contemporary art by studying the artists, theorists and critics who have made these issues relevant, and by making connections between these various kinds of cultural output. We will consider how social, economical and technological changes have impacted the arts over the past century and how artists have both responded to and initiated these changes.
