I am currently studying Visual Communications and Design in Ireland. Your videos have helped me out massively in my second year art essays. You quite possibly have helped me pass my Art History module. Thank You.

When I first visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia, soon after it opened, I burst out laughing! The front door was a two piece glass structure. The doors slid away from each other as you approached. On the door were the words "Museum of Contemporary Art". However, the writing was such that the words split between the two doors as "Museum of Con" and "temporary Art". I dont know who did it, but I suspect a would be art critic had got in the works. Sad to say, the doors have been replaced. At great cost I imagine as these were BIG doors.

Thank you so much for this lecture. I am clear about a lot of things now😇

These lectures are invaluable for anyone interested in contemporary art. The speaker’s character makes them all the more enjoyable as well!

This is a really good course; i would have guessed it was more popular,because it is accessible,but not banal or simplified or just glorification of artists and what not. Thank a lot fo uploading!!!

Im 56 and graduated with an art degree (painting and art history) in 1990 so I thought I would watch some lectures to see what's going on today. I love this series the prof is great. looks real young to me but that's probably because I am old but he's doing a great job. I plan on going over the whole class. Thanks for posting this so everyone can enjoy this.

is there a way i can have access to the course lectures? Very interested!

40:00 - tender buttons (by gertrude stein) is a great example of just forms on paper, a wonder example of post-modern literature

Interesting! I had a Professor and she knew I know the topic very well! I asked questions and I participated the whole quarter, she gave me a B! So selfish and…..

Pipe down in front!

Biola University is a CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY and was founded in 1908 as the Bible Institute of Los Angeles by Lyman Stewart, Thomas C. Horton, a Presbyterian minister and Christian author; and Augustus B. Prichard, also a Presbyterian minister. The school began construction on a new building at the corner of Sixth and Hope St., in downtown Los Angeles, which included a 3,500-seat auditorium, two large neon signs on top of the building proclaiming "Jesus Saves", and a set of eleven bells on which hymns were played three times each day. Biola applied for a religious exemption that would give the university the right to expel transgender students and refuse to admit, house or accommodate them. Know the source !!

I think that good conceptual art does exist. What bothers me is that so much attention and value is given to clearly bogus art and artists. Conceptual art was initially an attack on traditional visual arts calling them worthless, self indulgent decoration. I would like to see Sol Lewitt stand in front of Paul Cezanne and say that! What also bothers me is how Museums and art publications have relinquished their roles as guardians of quality. You do not see grand exhibitions of the work of Thomas Kinkade at The Metropolitan or at Boston's Museum of Fine Art. And rightly so. But to see The Tate give a build up to Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons is a sign that they would rather exhibit the flashy current craze that they think draws the public and which is, to me, an abdication of their function as custodians of quality.

Renzo I feel ya on that, but ill say tht the conceptual art view is within every type of art. I never fully belived that conceptual art was an attack persay. It just that its bringing the power of art back to the person by saying hey, the ideas in themselves can be as amazing if not more amazing than the object alone. It takes skills to craft a realistic human out of wood, it also takes skills to think and craft ideas out of ideas.....ect

very flaky presentation, could be presented a lot clearer with better structure. spending the first 25min talking about the undefinable word modernism.... this could have been summed up in 5 seconds!
