Argomenti dell'insegnamento
History and theories of the development of art from Conceptual Art to the present day. International art, following the various forms of Conceptual Art, can be defined as multimedia-based and process-oriented. The lecture examines this development from the artwork, through the project, to the process. It also explores how the institution of the art exhibition is changing and what role the internet and digital art forms play in new ways of distributing art. Art as a method of research forms a side note.
