ARTH 83.03 Modern Art, Spectacle, and Strategies of Resistance
In this seminar, we will take a historical and theoretical approach to understanding the diverse sets of strategies that artists have employed to disrupt, contest, playfully oppose, and ironically challenge power, broadly construed. We will focus on nineteenth and twentieth-century (mostly European) artists who were committed to producing critical or counter-discursive art in moments of political tribulation.
