During lectures and hands-on studio sessions we will examine the importance and implications of the visual arts in the larger context of visual culture. We will consider how cultural, social, economical and technological changes have impacted the field of contemporary arts and how artists have responded to these changes. The emphasis of the course is on providing students with tools to engage contemporary art on discursive, critical and intellectual levels.
