Course detail
FaVU-2SACA-LAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course will look into different art movements and artists in art after 1945 who took positions at different sides of the barricade. On the one hand, there are situacionists, Fluxus, actionists, arte povera, feminism, landart, or conceptual art - all of them are movements which are defined on the basis of subverting the commodity and art market logic, on the other hand there are the "opportunitstic" trends such as Pop Art, photorealism, post-modern painting of the 80s, YBAs of the 90s, the bienalle phenomenon, and the overal professionalization of the art scene in the last thirty years. During the course, we will ask questions about the difference of the missions of visual art vs. film or literature, what makes a "real" artist, what role does an artwork play in contemporary society as a commodity, etc. The course will try to find some answers by looking at some solutions by artists who were active in the aforementioned art movements.
