POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Department of Art at UCLA is creating a pool of applicants for potential temporary part-time teaching positions, in varied topics in the history of contemporary art. Examines key developments in art from 1960 to the present in their historical, political, and intellectual contexts. Applicants will need to submit course proposal. Specific topics may vary.
Sample Class Topic: Critiques of Modernism
This course will focus on the impact, legacy, and transformation of art in latter part of the 20th century and early 21st century, starting with critiques of modernism and the shift from modernist to postmodernist practices starting in the late 1960s. Artistic challenges to narrow modernist narratives and the institutional exclusions they justified will be examined, including critiques drawing from emancipatory movements and from poststructuralist, feminist, queer, performance, postcolonial, and critical race theory. The course will explore how artists and cultural thinkers challenged the forms, values, and institutions associated with modernism and paved the way for the emergence of a more global and inclusive field of contemporary art. Through class lectures, discussions, and assigned readings and research, students will gain an understanding of the local, national, and global conditions under which artworks are made and interpreted, and how the social dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomics, religion, sexual orientation, age, ability, nationality, and citizenship impact the production and reception of contemporary art.
- Sample learning objectives:
- To understand of how race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomics, religion, sexual orientation, ability, nationality, and citizenship impact contemporary art.
- To learn about the relationship between contemporary art and emancipatory movements from the 1960s to the present.
- To deepen students’ understanding of contemporary perspectives in art history.
- To gain historical understanding of the development of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present.
