ARTH 355 - The City in Art and Film

Institution:

University of San Diego

Subject:

Description:

This course will examine representations of the city in 20th and 21st century art and film. From the science fiction presentiments of Metropolis, Alphaville, and Blade Runner, to the suburban dystopia of American Beauty, the rhapsodic romanticism of Manhattan, and the engulfing megalopolis of Salaam Bombay, the city has figured as a powerful force and subject within film. So, too, artists have tackled the city not only as subject matter but as an arena in which to act. from the frenetic manifestations of the Futurists to the pointed interventions of Krzysztof Wodiczko, Jenny Holzer, and Robert Irwin, artists have moved into the real space of the world.
