/ART 507. Moving Image Art

Catalog description

Since the dawn of moving image media, artists and filmmakers have found means of artistic expression outside of both commercial entertainment and narrative cinema. This class examines this exciting history and experiences artworks that push our expectations and limits as spectators and challenge the dominant forms of film and television. Special attention is paid to creating a genealogy of experimental approaches to moving image media and connecting to art historical developments in painting, sculpture, conceptual art, and installation art as well as major social and political movements. Class includes regular screenings in addition to class discussion and lecture. Cross-listed with FST 407 .
