Course curriculum
1. Bienalisation of art. Why biennials are so important today. What are their roots? How do they differ (Venice, Havana, Kassel, shifting Manifesta)? How are they related to the art fairs?
2. An archival impulse / a historiographical turn. Artist as a researcher interested in the past, memory, and archives in general and the specific interest of contemporary artist in the questions of modernity, its ideas and formal language. Ostalgia - culturally specific version of the more general historiographical turn in contemporary art.
3. Is everything an installation? Installation as a genre, installation aesthetics (various trends and regimes after 2000).
4. After New Media. From net.art to post-internet (and beyond).
5. Return of the Object - object oriented ontology and contemporary art; art and anthropocene.
Aims
Students will have a good orientation in contemporary art: important names, events, strands.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
