Inhalte | The module provides an introduction to key theoretical terms and art historical discourses that are relevant to the field of contemporary art. Through specific case studies that span from the early 20th century to the present, the course sheds light on the intersections between art, philosophy, politics and society as well as new media and technological conditions. The module is structured along a set of key terms and involves close looking, reading, writing and debating as well as mini-lectures and excursions. The course contents reflect the research focus of the tutor while investigating connections and tensions between different theories and practices, past and present. Meret Kaufmann (*1989) studied art history and theatre studies at Freie Universität Berlin and University College London, where she is currently working on her doctorate. Meret works across research, teaching, writing and exhibition making in various institutions and projects. Dr. Marcel Bleuler (*1980) works at the interface of curatorial practice and art historical research and is the Head of the PhD program at the Department Fine Arts.
