Art History

Description:

4 hours. Theorizing artistic reception has an added urgency in our era when presentation is the product. Artists need to constantly re-think their own practice in relation to new technologies, new ideas and the resurgence of old ideas. This course will look at how artists have addressed modes and technologies of presentation and how theories of the space of art have played a role in defining culture and cultural institutions. A critical appreciation of light, frames, and framing devices and other exhibition technologies will be surveyed in museums and malls, flea markets, and artist?s homes.
