2026W, Academic Seminar (SEW), 2.0 ECTS, 1.0 semester hours, course number S51276
Gender/diversity/queer-specific, Scientific bachelor seminar for teacher education
Description
How do installation practices negotiate bodies and perception in space? Which subjects are addressed, and in what ways? To what extent do the medial and material specificities of installation practices enable critical engagements with the infrastructures and social relations that constitute them?
In the seminar, we will explore these and related questions, moving from early spatial interventions in twentieth-century art to contemporary positions, through readings on the notion and history of installation, visual analyses of selected works, exhibition visits, and artistic exercises.
Examination Modalities
- regular attendance (absence of 2 sessions max.)
- active participation and engagement in discussions, preparation of all readings and visual analyses (en/de) (grading: 50%)
