Art Outside Institutions? Site-specific art, installation, land-art, sculpture and environmental art since 1960s till present day.

The focus of the course is development of visual and plastic arts after the conceptual turn and resulting new forms and content of art work, as well as new media and their impact on visual arts and architecture.

IMPORTANT: This course is intended ONLY for students of the programme Design. The course is divided into two blocks: 1.– 6.  The first block is aimed at the significance of cultural institutions for origins of fine art and architecture and for the reproduction of cultural capital. It deals also with exhibition strategies of museums and galleries (particularly in the context of architecture). 7. – 13. The art expressions, that often have stepped out of the institutionalised art world from the 1960s up to present, will be presented within the framework of the second block. The attention will be paid primarily to Euro-American and Czechoslovak examples of site-specific, land-art, sculpture and spatial creation.

The minimum number of students to open the course is 5. EXCEPTION for self-paying students: if there are less than 5 students, the course will be taught in consultations.
