Institution:

Alfred University

Subject:

Art History

Description:

4 hours. A close examination of the nature of sculptural viewing over the past 200 years. Sculptural theory is considered alongside contemporary artistic practice, ranging from Antonio Canova's neoclassical figures to Janet Cardiff's audio walks. Primary sources will be used for class discussion, along with Potts' "The Sculptural Imagination". In addition to thinking critically about the phenomenon of viewing, we will investigate the changing attitudes toward sculpture and the broadening definitions of three-dimensional work in the modern period.
