Learning unit contents
This course, dedicated to the analysis of creation from 1960 until today, aims to explore the major artistic tendencies s of this period by focusing on:
- the artistic movements ofrom 1960 until today
- the current trends in the world of museum exhibitions (revival of the cabinet of curiosities, exhibitions of artists)
- fundamental notions and concepts such as postmodernity, institutional criticism, artification
- major currents of thought such as Cultural Studies and Postcolonial Studies;
- the major changes in the "world" of contemporary art (globalization, institutionalization, the rise of fairs and biennials, new intermediaries of art, etc.)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Through the questions and subjects that it addresses, this course aims to provide students with training leading to a specialization in the field of the history of contemporary art.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
It is preferable that the student has already taken a general course on the history of twentieth century art.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Master's seminar where teaching methods and materials are varied:
- theoretical classes, with projection of a slide show and note taking by the student
- courses given by specialists in contemporary art:
* Pierre-Olivier ROLLIN
* Maria Elena MINUTO
- meetings with artists:
* Jacques CHARLIER
- interventions by doctoral students
* Alisson BISSCHOP
* Alix NYSSEN
- documentary screenings, followed by a discussion
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Teaching:
If the health situation calls for distance learning, this course will be given in the following manner: deposit, each week at the time of the course, of a powerpoint accompanied by a recording. I will also organize one or two videoconferencing sessions to answer students' questions.
The interventions of external speakers will be done either by videoconference at the time of the course, or in the form of a recording deposited in the course supports. However, I am not sure that my guests can meet this request. It is therefore possible that some interventions will be canceled.
Evaluation :
In the event of exams organized remotely, the evaluation will be done by means of an oral videoconference.
Recommended or required readings
Readings are recommended throughout the seminar.
No syllabus, but a powerpoint communicated to students through the "support de cours" tab
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Oral Examination
The student's participation in the debates is taken into account
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
A calendar showing the theme of each course of the seminar is communicated from the first class
