By looking back to earlier historical precedents we will examine the various conditions under which art works have been produced, disseminated and exhibited as objects in the modern period, and the ways in which these conditions have also been resisted or rejected. From the changing nature of the artist’s studio during the 1960s, to performance and the artwork as ‘ephemeral’, the module considers how artists have developed alternative ways of imagining and addressing art’s spaces and audiences on both a local and a global scale. The module will be structured around a series of episodes and case studies drawn from histories of modern and contemporary art since 1960.
