Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of a variety of feminist avant-garde aesthetic practices and their political and philosophical implications.Analyse the way in which avant-garde artists engaged with and critiqued political and philosophical assumptions of the period.
(Artists covered may change from year to year.) Focussing on detailed readings of individual works and oeuvres in relation to contemporary political and cultural events and contexts and theoretical statements by artists and critics, we will explore and analyse the diverse aesthetic practices of these artists and examine their philosophical and political critiques of gender, race, and class. This course examines women artists (including for example ORLAN, Renate Bertlmann, and Betye Saar) of different nationalities, working in a variety of media ranging from painting and photography to film and performance. 'Feminist avant-gardes of the 1970s' encompasses a range of women artists who overturned male-centred notions of the avant-garde and established radical new visions of how art can be political. The sessions will focus each week on different artists working in a variety of media and across different national and feminist contexts. The course is structured as a series of two-hour sessions consisting of introductory lectures followed by seminars. This course explores feminist avant-gardes of the 1970s in an international range of contexts.
