COURSE DESCRIPTION

CRCP 6B02
Criticism and Critical Writing
0.50 Credit(s)
Seminar
The subject of this course is critical writing in a broad sense. Critical writing can be seen as a large and flexible form that accompanies art and design's production and public reception. This broad view will enable the seminar to examine many types of texts that deal with art and design theory, criticism, ficto-criticism, curatorial statements and texts as artworks, as well as interviews (which though spoken, routinely appear in print). A central question for the seminar will be the study of whether (or how) different positions in the field of art, design, curator, critic, artist, designer, etc. create different kinds of writing.
