Landscape, Cities and Contemporary Art
A.A. 2023-2024
The field of contemporary art is a complex ecosystem with an ever-expanding field of activity. Operating within practices that can range from site-specific to relational art, from activism to performance, artists have elaborated what it means to think and act in the public sphere. This course addresses on the intersection of art, architecture and landscape, from the experiments of the second half of the 20th Century to the present. It will explore artistic practices that engage with the use of public space and its specificities and problems, addressing topics such as the concept of site-specific, installations, performance, and relational practices. The course focuses on the potential of art and architecture, within the framework and possibilities of the evolving relationship between people and space, in the forms of Land Art, Street Art and the Public Art. Lessons aim to provide students with knowledge of the main current issues in contemporary art in relation to artists' interest in the exploration of space, interpreted as the complex of architectural, natural and social contexts surrounding the artwork.
