Studies
We work and teach with a strong reference to current specialist discourses and socio-politically highly relevant topics. Within this context, we also represent modern and contemporary art in our teaching, whereby we go beyond the European area once again.
Studying Visual Culture in the Global Context
A selection of our courses in the first two semesters since the chair was established in October 2019 provides an idea of our main areas of focus:
- The art of Africa - an introduction
- Visual cultures of the digital - practices, aesthetics, genres
- Art history and postcolonialism
- Video killed the radio star (introduction to video art)
- The global GDR
- Visual art from a transcultural perspective using Latin America as an example
- Visual art and ecology - from Beuys to Saraceno
The current Courses can be found on the Website of the Institute of Art and Music.
