This course examines the radical changes in sculptural practices from the mid-1960s to the present. Movements to be analysed include: Fluxus, Arte Povera, Minimalism, Land Art, Postmodernism, and emerging trends such as Designer-Artists (Jorge Pardo, Andrea Zittel). Particular attention will be given to the emergence of installation art and the questioning of the integrity of the art object. The course aims are: to trace and examine the historical and philosophical understandings of late modern, postmodern and contemporary spatial and sculptural practices; to consider how these practices relate to conceptions of time, space and subjectivity and; to examine two recurrent themes in the discussion of installation: the total work of art and the spectacle.
