ARTS 345 - Exhibiting the New: Artistic Practice and Institutions 1960-2000 (AH)


With an eye to geopolitics in the art world, this course examines key exhibitions that have displayed new artistic practices. The course analyzes how new art challenged traditional displays of art, breaking away from the famous “white cube” gallery display to transform the exhibition space into a more fluid environment, resembling artists’ studios. It shows how contemporary art practices affected art institutions that, in turn, prompted new exhibition formats and institutional discourses. This class pays special attention to large international exhibitions from the documenta in Kassel, Germany, to the biennial boom in the Global South of the 1990s to reveal the importance of these venues in making art a more global phenomenon.
