About this course

Introduction to global contemporary art (the arts in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Africa). Art of the 21st century emerges from a vast variety of materials and means. This interdisciplinary course will examine a broad range of artistic practices including painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance art, animation, architecture, city planning, environmental art, activist art, and art using digital and social media. We will examine how arts from different geopolitical locations were uniquely shaped, responding to contemporary issues and concerns.
