Offer 2 with catalog number 4009129FER for all students in the 2nd semester at a (F) Master - specialised level.
For this master seminar we expect students with a bachelor degree to have sufficient art historic knowledge to take part in full art historic debates. Thematically, this seminar focuses on very current issues as they show in the Western art world today. This seminar tries to keep an eye out for a couple of current evolutions which are expected to have a great influence on how we will view the term ‘contemporary art’ in the future. It is thereby also the intention to search for certain matters that have or can have a paradigmatic influence on the broader artistic understanding which will be dealt with in the art of the contemporary period. A good example is the way in which the conceptual art succeeded to constantly keep influencing the upcoming new tendencies within the field of contemporary art. To estimate these tendencies correctly and understand them in the right way, we naturally need to start with the suiting terms just like we need to acquire a full historic insight into the origins of conceptual art in the 1960/70s. Once this information is obtained, we will have an excellent tool to study the working influence of the conceptual art on recent evolutions within contemporary art. During the seminar, a selection of relevant scientific articles will be used which show the issues from different perspectives and will not leave the polemic moments out. The students will become conscious throughout the seminar of the underlying processes that lead to consensus forming within te art sciences which have their influence in the origins of the so called “canon” in the art sciences.
The course will be organized in the form of an Anglo-Saxon seminar, in which the students will dive into a topic every week with the selected texts which will be read by the students in advance. These texts will be presented by the students and categorized into themes after which all of the participants will have a debate, moderated by the titular. During the first meetings, the students will choose a topic that closely links to the content of the seminar. When the topic is chosen by the group and approved by the titular, all the individual students will start their own research. This will lead to the production of a seminar paper. At the start of every meeting, the titular will be informed about the process of the research. During the last meeting, the students get the chance to introduce their peers to the rough outline of their paper. For this meeting, the titular can also invite external colleagues on the basis of their expertise related to the topic of the seminar. The paper has to be handed in on the date of the exam.
