Kunst der Moderne: Globale Perspektiven (Kunstgeschichte 3)
Eva Kernbauer
Institute of Studies in Art and Art Education, Art History
2023W, Vorlesungen (VO), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S04728
Description
This course offers an introduction to the emergence of Modern Art (1800-1950) in the global context. It focuses on the formation of Europe and European Art as cultural entities framed and shaped by political and economic struggle, emerging nationalism, colonialism and global expansion. We will also look at art centres and practices in East and South Asia, North- and Central America and in Africa.
In distinct chapters, we will examine the transformation of art in the course of Modernism: exhibitions and art journals proliferate as new art publics emerge; visuality is being transformed by the experience of modern urban space; non-Western art is appropriated in Orientalism and Primitivism; new media such as photography and film are being introduced; collaborative, performative and spatial art practices emerge. We will specifically look at feminist art histories, at intermedial approaches, at interconnections of art and design including the notion of the "Gesamtkunstwerk", and the modernist concept of art as an experiment for social change.
Examination Modalities
Written exam, to be completed optionally in English and German. Three exam dates are offered at the end of January and at the beginning and end of March 2024. After that, no more exam dates will be offered, as the lecture changes every year.
Please register for the first exam at sophie.geretsegger@uni-ak.ac.at.
