Art-Arch 4015: Theories of Modern Art and Architecture
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The course presents theories of art and architecture from the 19th to the 21st century in their historical contexts through a set of in-depth investigations of selected topics. Some knowledge of history and theory is integral to contemporary understandings of the disciplines of art, art history, and architecture. To foster a historical understanding of theories of modern art and architecture, we discuss a selection of key texts, divided into three sections: theoretical sources of modern art and architectural history in the 19th century; theories of Modernism, from the formalist to the Marxist; Postmodern critiques of Modernism, in such areas as feminist theory and Poststructuralism. Class visits to Sullivan and Adler's Wainwright Building (1890-91), Saarinen's Arch at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial (completed 1964), Ando's Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts (2001), and Maki's Kemper Museum of Art (2006) are integral to the work of the course. Prerequisites: either Art-Arch 112 (Introduction to Western Art) or Art-Arch 211 (Introduction to Modern Art) and any 300-level course in Art History; or permission of instructors.

Art-Arch 409: Logics of the Art Museum
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This seminar explores the inside and inner logics of the art museum. Readings and discussions concentrate on how the art museum determines what art is, how it stages artistic subjectivity, and how museums and art interpenetrate and reflect each other. What does it mean to collect art? Why is an art work worth preserving? What happens to the museum when art leaves it through new media such as the Internet, the public domain, and the realm of politics? Alternating with theoretical reading are case studies that focus on the practices of New York's MoMA, and temporary shows such as Documenta. We ourselves become critics and professionals as we examine displays at the St. Louis Art Museum, the Pulitzer Foundation of the Arts, and conceive of possibilities to curate the permanent collection of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum on campus. Prerequisite: Art-Arch 211 (Introduction to Modern Art) or permission of the instructor.
