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 the new technologies.
