This course seeks to consider the interrelationship between contemporary art and critical theory. Taking up key methodologies elaborated over the past decades such as poststructuralism, psychoanalytic theory, post-colonialism, and critical modernist studies, this course will re-examine art practices since 1965, institutional critique most centrally, in the light of its close connections to theory. Art historical texts in dialogue with the methodologies under consideration will be read in class, and films by the artists under study will be screened, when relevant.
