ART 323 Gender, Sexuality, and Art
This course examines international modern and contemporary artists and their work through theories of gender, sexuality, identity, and feminisms. Topics include: how images encode gender, sexuality, and identity; questions of masculinity; queer theory; international socio-political contexts for women’s artistic production and reception; requirements, restrictions, and obstacles women endure(d) to become artists; theoretical and philosophical writings from and about women, femme-identifying, and non-binary artists and art historians; often-neglected artists’ contributions to major global modern and contemporary art movements; and the contemporary shift to accessibility and visibility through global exhibitions, museum collections, biennales, and scholarship. May be repeated if topic changes.
