Contents
Development of historical contextual knowledge of fine arts and theatre and their interdisciplinary influences in the 20th century.
A series of classes that combines a chronological overview and theory context with the independent profiles of important artists. Looking for parallels in the fine arts and theatre (3 fine arts lectures, 1 theatre lecture). Artistic trends are related to their idea sources (modernism, marxism, psychoanalysis, post-modern, etc.). Arts and theory influence each other. Works of the 1960s require a particular type of „explanation“ and are understood only in a historical, social and theory context or Art is not a matter of like/don't like, but requires a particular requirement of thought. An artwork cannot, without the rest, be explained. It has its own hidden parts. Along with artists such as Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, Nam Jun Paike, the ideas of theorists like Theodor Adorno, Guy Debord, Walter Benjamin, Rosalind Krauss, Nicolas Bourriaud and others are presented.
