FA 272 Art and Everyday Life


3 credits

What is the relationship between art and everyday life? How have artists attempted to blur or fully collapse the distinction between the two? Focusing primarily on works made in the 20th and 21st centuries, this course asks what “life” and “art” refer to in any given work, which are two historically, contextually, and personally defined concepts. Students will study artists’ tactics and strategies for mediating between art and life from modernism to postmodernism by considering themes such as junk aesthetics, performance art, alternative art spaces and exhibition strategies, and social media.
