Description:

PQ: ARTV 10100 or 10200, or consent of instructor. This course surveys performance art by combining historical readings with re-enactments of historical performances. We highlight movements including Futurism and Accionism, as well as individuals including Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, and Marina Abramovic. Students study the interdisciplinary quality of performance art and its relationship to theater, visual arts, and social context, particularly the politics of the body and social intervention. We read texts by Goldberg, Phelan, Carr, Goffman, Bourriaud, Kapprow, Danto, and Schechner. Classroom time is divided between group critiques and discussion. Visits to galleries, museums, and other cultural sites required. T. Bruguera. Spring.
