| GART 1B52 Nature & Culture: Curatorial Practices 0.50 Credit(s) Studio |
|
| Prerequisite: Students must have completed a minimum of 1.0 credit of First-year studio curriculum. |
|
| The intersection of human activity and natural phenomena provides a zone of contention under investigation in contemporary art today. The Western history of museums begins in the 17th century with "cabinets of curiosities." These collections held items from nature, as well as artworks (culture), to reveal a microcosm of the world to be studied in the pursuit of knowledge. In this course students investigate how contemporary artists explore the collision of the material/natural world and present-day culture. Students also look at the role exhibitions in galleries, museums and alternative spaces contribute to our understanding of the “natural” world. |
