| Description | This course revolved around five case studies of controversial recent texts which posit profoundly different ways of interpreting how art and architecture have shaped visual experiences and understandings of the interrelations of past and present. Through the lenses these texts provide, we examined works primarily of contemporary art and architecture across the globe attending especially to materials and techniques, to ways of creating space, to the persona of the artist, politics and patronage, the design and symbolism of monuments, and the importance of cross-cultural exchanges. |
