Description:
Course number and title: FAH392H5F - Topics in Modern Art/Architecture
Topic description: Since its emergence in the context of Futurism and Dadaism, performance art continues to be one of the most diverse and politically charged art forms. The provocative, fleeting, embodied, interactive, and affective powers of performance art set it apart from more conventional art forms. The course discusses various examples of performance art in the modern and contemporary period, from Futurists and Dadaists works; to happenings, Situationist and Fluxus performances; to the 1960s and 1970s performance and body art in the US and Eastern Europe; as well as intersections of performance, social practice art, and activism in the contemporary global art. We consider the links between performance and popular culture, poetry, theatre, ritual, street art, and social activism, and foreground its aesthetic and critical dimensions.
