PAINT 4516

This is the second part of a two-class sequence, with Introductory Prehistory of Contemporary Art as a prerequisite. This class, required for painting majors in spring semester of their junior year, is devoted to the development of postmodern and contemporary art and culture from roughly 1989 to the present, introducing, contextualizing, and assessing how artists have addressed the discourses around medium, technology, globalization, colonialism, social justice, the environment in that time, how their work has been shaped by other spheres of cultural production, and how critics have responded to and theorized the art of the recent past and the present day. There will be a field-trip to Dia Beacon during the semester.

Enrollment is limited to Junior Painting Students.
