The course will encourage students to question the theoretical, ideological and aesthetic assumptions of artists, collectors, art critics and art historians. In addition to assigned reading materials, I also placed non-assigned supplemental readings on reserve. They include exhibition catalogs, artists' monographs, older surveys, etc. that you may need when working on your final project. Copy what ever you like. However, be sure to return the original and not your second generation copy to the reserve desk and please do not write on the reserve Xeroxes.
Late arrivals disrupt announcements, discussions and lectures.
Read weekly assignments, study the illustrations and slides and complete electronic media assignments. Complete the midterm exercise, final project. Attend lectures by visiting artists and scholars. Develop discussion questions based on each reading assignments. Short assignments, due as assigned in class.
