Description
What is the power of art? What is art for, who
is it for, what does it do, is it for one or
many? These are some of the question to which this seminar will be addressed. It will be a search for possibilities and their contestations in relation to important issues in societies today. For our purposes art can be thought of broadly, a field that includes performing arts, time based media and literature in addition to visual and spatial art. We will inform our discussions with writings by artists, poets, designers and academics who elaborate differing theories of art's social and political dimensions.
