MAP-UA 720 - Expressive Culture: Images

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

What is the place of art in an image-saturated world? We begin by considering the power and taboo of images and the ways in which individuals and institutions that constitute "the art world" classify some of these images as works of art; turn to explore the visual and conceptual challenges presented by major works of sculpture, architecture, and painting; and conclude with a selection of problems raised by art today. Students develop the vocabulary to both appreciate and question the artistic "gestures" of society in various places and times.
