This course explores key developments in the arts globally, from 1945 to the present. Topics include: art in the Cold War, the impact of decolonization, "global" conceptualism, the Culture Wars, and more.
Students will write a new article or significantly improve on one, instead of writing the traditional end-of-term paper. This involves research, writing and sourcing material.
We will be working on articles related to topics covered in class. Given the uneven coverage of the arts in general, these articles can be broad (for example, Conceptualism in Latin America) or narrow (a particular artist or object), providing the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for "notability."
