Museums and Contemporary Arts will focus
on the curatorial challenges in the relationship
between museums and contemporary art
that have been caused by phenomena of
transculturalism, new forms of contemporary
artistic interventions and the increasing immateriality
of the object. The course will provide an analytical
history of contemporary artworks from
the late 20th Century to the 21st Century, comparing
curatorial approaches, artists' challenges and
aesthetics. The influence of major art
movements from the beginning and middle of the
20thCentury will be compared with late 20th Century
art, contemporary visual practices and contemporary
digital culture. Students will develop an understanding of
curatorial and artistic practices as well as an
aesthetic vocabulary and familiarity with the practice
based and theoretical issues related to contemporary
art and curatorial practices.
