Course content
The course concentrates on the role of theory and criticism in the context of contemporary art. It provides an introduction to art theory and experiments and plays with a variety of different notions of theoretical praxis. In principle, art theory is understood as the art of seeing art. Rather than with an identifiable body of knowledge, the course operates as an open and flexible collaborative learning environment. It introduces and critically examines key concepts of contemporary art theory and explores their impact on the major movements in visual art from the early 20th century to the present day.
