Subject Description

This subject assumes that the postmodern is a disparate body of strategic responses to shifting cultural and historical circumstances. The subject will focus on a series of case studies intended to review various versions of postmodernism. These case studies will incorporate visual arts, graphic design, industrial design, architecture, performance art and popular culture after WWII. Students should, on completion of the subject, have an understanding of key issues in art after 1950, and be able to locate specific artistic and critical practices within a social, historical and theoretical context.
