The development of modern and contemporary art has been dominated by fundamental, revolutionary movements and varied themes, both theoretical and practical. This course will look at a number of the important achievements of individual women artists, collaborative groups, art historians, and theorists who have and continue to present enormous shifts in aesthetic practice and cultural politics. A survey through slides, film, theoretical readings, and discussion will announce the diverse voices of women artists from the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa from modernism through today's post-modernist age. It is intended that students will emerge from the course with a clearer understanding of theoretical writings and documents from the 60's forward, and the contributions connected with independent women artists, collaborative groups and projects. Images and ideas will announce how a number of artists responded to issues in mainstream culture. Through intense examination, critical interrogation, and the production of forms, these artists not only resonated a shaking up of art and culture, but also helped define it. (Offered on a rotating basis)
