Course Description

“Topics in Peninsular Spanish Literature and Culture: Art Before/Beyond/Without Museums” will look at Spanish art, past and present, from the point of view not of the conventional finished products --works of art in a museum, eg-- but rather in the context of the processes by which art is commissioned, conceived, created, collected, exhibited, marketed, bought and sold.  The course will also have a component of "making"--students will be exposed to hands-on experiences of a number of artistic practices, such as modeling clay, and making plaster molds-- and will also include visits to artisans' workshops, artists’ studios, auction houses, flea markets, etc. The course will be taught in English.
