Course content

Intercultural aspects of institutions such as as art history, theater, music and film will be emphasised.

Cultural fields are changeable, but issues related to criticism are as such attached to modern and autonomous notions of art, and modern public access.

Learning outcome

Students should gain knowledge of institutional criterias for art production, and thereby be able to analyse the mechanisms governing art discussions.
