ART AND MEDIA: 1950-2000

In the second half of the XXth Century, artistic movements definitively dismantled the notion of the “specificity” of the medium (painting, sculpture etc.), one of the pillars of the modernist aesthetic. From new dada to pop art, from Fluxus to the movements born in the second half of the 1960s, to postmodernist practiced based on appropriation, distinctions between media were abolished and replaced by creative practices in which conceptual, allegorical and performative elements imposed a radical redefinition of the work of art through the annexation of new media (photography, film, video, digital images).
The course deals with key moments of this process from the1850s to the 1970s through close examination of key works from the period, and readings of critical essays on the subject.

This lecture class offers an introduction to the history of photographic languages, practices, and cultures from the origins to the post-WWII period. Lectures will focus on the "close reading" of different types of photographic texts (including individual images, series, photo-texts, books, and exhibitions) and will discuss case studies associated with the crucial moments in the medium's affirmation as an intellectural and artistic field.

Lacking an appropriate survey book (at least in Italian), a list of required readings will be provided at the beginning of classes.
