Is there an art history of post-truth? In this seminar-style class you will track, from the 1950s to the present, artists’ engagements with fact, authenticity, information, reality, and truth. You’ll encounter multiple modes of visual art-making in this period, such as installation, conceptual art, photography, performance, and video, and learn to ask and answer art-historical research questions, including the fundamental query: why this, then?
