Description

This course examines major transformations in art and design practice and theory from the late 1940s to the present, and locates these within changing social, political and economic contexts. Issues relating to Formalism, Pop, image and text, the de-materialisation of art, and performance are addressed, as well as Feminist theories and practice, post-colonial culture, and new technologies. This course is designed for students with no prior academic knowledge in art.
