Class Details

How does durational media (film, photography, performance, etc.) conceptualize time? This seminar sets out to examine and discuss temporalities in artistic production, focusing on duration, happening, ephemerality, memory, event, and contemporaneity. Organized as a series of case studies, this class will examine select performances, films, installation pieces, video, sculptures, and photographic practices that foreground issues of temporality and duration in modern and contemporary art. We will also consider practices that deliberately subvert these categories. What theoretical frameworks allow us to meaningfully engage questions of temporality in artistic practice? Key readings that will help us address this question are drawn from a diverse array of theorists, art historians, philosophers, and writers, including Marcel Proust, Henri Bergson, Gaston Bachelard, Claire Bishop, Miwon Kwon, Jacques Rancière, Rosalind Krauss, Chrissie Iles, and Pamela M. Lee.
