Seminar in Modernist Art & Theory: Afterlives of Avant-Gardes

We speak of the “afterlives of antiquity.” What are the afterlives of modernism? What happened to the great avant-gardes of the early 20th century such as Dada, Surrealism, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus? Each movement presented radical ideas of the artwork and the artist: How did these models morph over the last century? How were they reinvented in different contexts? Together we will sketch new genealogies of these avant-gardes from their moment to our own.
