Although various intellectuals have attempted to overview contemporary art in the past, the overall picture of contemporary art continues to change and become more complex. In this course, we will introduce the overview of contemporary art that has been systematized so far (players such as artists, curators, gallerists, etc., and its history), as well as the social and historical background of contemporary art. In parallel with the lectures, individual and group work will be conducted to help students develop their own perspectives to interpret the contemporary world in various ways as expressive artists (in the broad sense of the term, not limited to art).
In addition, by setting an assignment of "Proposals for society mediated by 'contemporary art'," participants are encouraged to connect their own areas of interest with contemporary art (in the broad sense of artworks, social context, concepts, etc.) and to independently express and propose their own ideas.
