This course examines relationships among contemporaneous developments in as broad a range of visual art, music, film, photography, literature and dance as time allows. The course is mounted as two segments, offered in successive years; students may elect either one or both segments. This segment explores the theory and practice of various post-modernist art developments that have taken place in the second half of the twentieth century. Here various post-modernist movements will be examined such as minimalism, intermedia, new image and photo-realist painting, and neo-romanticism. Also considered will be various stylistic and formal developments that have not consolidated under the banner of any particular movement, but have nonetheless furthered the general ideals of post-modernist practices.
