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.

The course examines the relationships between art, environment, and public space. Starting from the departure of artistic practice from the traditional dimensions of painting and sculpture in the historical avant-gardes, it will explore the operational context of the second half of the twentieth century, in which artistic intervention expands into environmental installations, often created in situ or site-specific, within exhibition spaces or in nature.
Attention will also be given to the relationships between art and public space in contemporary contexts, focusing on projects and relational, socially engaged performative practices, forms of street art, and the issue of the monument today, in light of new commissions, difficult legacies, and decolonial perspectives.
The following topics will be addressed in particular:
- Beyond the frame, off the pedestal: the art–environment relationship in Futurism, Constructivism, and Dada;
- Exhibitions and the curatorial practice of Marcel Duchamp;
- Environments and Happenings;
- From Arte Povera to Land Art;
- Site-specific and time-specific works: environmental installations, with particular attention to the contribution of women artists;
- Street art, between sustainability and inclusion;
- Public space and decolonial artistic practices.
