The Exhibition and the Invention of Modern and Contemporary Art, 1913–Present
Professor Anne Goodyear
Mondays, 4–6:30 pm
This course will look at the development of strategies for exhibiting modern and contemporary art from 1913 to the present. Beginning with the Armory show of 1913, we will study how modern and contemporary art have been positioned within—and outside—the institution of the museum and the gallery. Weekly case studies will enable the seminar to focus on how exhibition practice has shaped—literally and figuratively—the development of art of the past century. Together we will address the development of Alfred Stieglitz’s 291, The Phillips Collection, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the exhibition of Surrealist art, Duchamp’s Boîte-en-Valise, André Malraux’s Museum without Walls, modes of institutional critique, and recent questions related to installing and collecting time-based and digital art.

Class meets in the Center for the Study of Modern Art seminar room
