The course provides the critical methodologies and basic historical skills essential to the study of the artistic languages of modernity. The class and lectures selected for the exam program will retrace the main events of contemporary visual arts, in order to propose a methodology for the analysis of poetics, movements and different languages characterising contemporary art, and so to provide the necessary tools for reading and interpret the different types of contemporary works of art.

Programme
The course analyzes research and crucial turning points in contemporary art – from impressionism to the historical avant-gardes, up to the practices of the 1960s –, focusing on strategies and linguistic renewals that have challenged the centrality of traditional artistic mediums, with the emergence of new creative methods in which conceptual, procedural, performative instances have imposed a radical redefinition of the work of art. Specifically, attention will be paid to themes such as the politics and poetics of the gaze, the dialectic between the visible and the invisible, the relationship between artistic intervention and environmental context, the dimension of irony as a strategy of intervention and renewal. The analysis of these themes will provide the necessary methodological approach to the study of the languages that characterize contemporary art and the indispensable tools for reading the different typologies of works of art.Attendance
Highly recommended.Type of evaluation
The examination is a written assignment through a 2-hour written test. 3 open questions will be proposed, as well as the recognition and analysis of 2 works reproduced in the texts and treated in class, in order to attest the ability to read and analyze the different types of contemporary works of art, using an adequate, critical terminology, and relating the work to the historical-artistic context. With regard to the works dealt with in class, a selection (which will be used for the examination) will be made available to all students at the end of the course on teams. For attending students is planned a mid-term test: the procedures will be explained in class. teacher profile teaching materials
