Topics in Contemporary Art The term "contemporary art" names not only artworks made over the past half-century, but the art-historical discourse that attempts to explain them, the network of museums and exhibition spaces through which they reach the public, and the global industry in which they are bought and sold. In this course we will examine contemporary art’s relationship to the political, social, and technological developments of our era, attempting to answer the questions: How do we make sense of art produced in the present day? And: How does this art help us understand the world?

I really enjoyed the material and flow of this class. Readings were assigned for each class, but they weren't too heavy and you could get away with not doing them. Grading was based on a few different projects that were creative and short. Class was lecture-based, but then would open up to discussion at the end. The class was the film screening room in Axinn which was dark and sleepy sometimes, but overall an interesting and cool class. Very chill. Roger White is a visiting professor and I didn't think that he made an effort to connect on a deeper level with the students, but I didn't really mind that.
