History of Contemporary Art II

Contemporary art from World War II to the present is examined in relation to the establishment of Modernism as the prevailing cultural tradition, on the one hand, and the raising criticism of modernist culture, its institutions and ‘aesthetics’, on the other. The emergence of new media and approaches to art itself and the artist’s role are examined in relation to the various attitudes towards consumer society, mass media and Information Society, as well as to the commitment or the sensitiveness concerning gender issues, the changing dynamics between centre and periphery, and the globalisation era.
