ARTH 038. Exhibiting Women

This course examines women as makers of art, as subjects of art, and as interpreters of art. It explores how women as artists have engaged with issues of artistic identity and with the concepts of femininity, masculinity, and sexuality. It also explores how women as artists have represented the intersections of gender and power, race, class and nationality in their works. This course begins with a few case studies of early artists and then focuses on a series of key twentieth and twenty-first century practitioners. Readings are drawn from feminist theory, postmodern theory, postcolonial theory, and cultural studies. This course also includes an exhibition design component.
