Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The emergence of “performance art” in the twentieth century transformed what it means to practice and study art. At around the same time, the concept of “performativity” transformed the understanding of social, political and linguistic formations. This course aims to introduce students to key protagonists of performance- and action-based art, including Ron Athey, Yoko Ono, William Pope.L, Yvonne Rainer, Tino Sehgal, and Mierle Laderman Ukeles amongst others. We will do so by mapping differing theoretical approaches to the history of performance art – feminist and queer theory, critical theory, political theory, critical race studies – while also reflecting on the challenges of making performance art an object of art historical investigation.This writing and discussion intensive course will foreground critical thinking. Students will develop skills in close-looking and close-reading, analytic and critical argumentation, as well as the facility for written expression in a manner that will be helpful to students at university and beyond.N.B. This course is taught in English. Students may submit written assignments in German if they choose.
