  • ARTH3120 Introduction to Contemporary Art
    Contemporary Art
    Travis Lee Clark
    Utah Valley University
    In this lecture we introduce the topic of what do we mean when we talk about "Contemporary Art" and why we had to invent a new term to distinguish it from Modern Art. Is Contemporary Art a rejection of Modernism or the evolution of it? We also talk about the course requirements and expectations. Most of this info is available in the syllabus and course introduction module but nothing beats hearing this boring boilerplate in my original droning voice.

    these are very helpful and insightful lectures. i studied art in the uk in the 80's at art school and the art history was shallow and fractured at best. to be fair it would have been hard to teach at a level of detail that would have made sense - we were painters and sculptors - but still my recollection was that it was poorly presented. good work and thank you for sharing.

      Yeah I spent a lot of time on the Penn Campus. I was in that library constantly and loved all the artwork.

    I'm not digging contemporary art, but this video is the best description of contemporary art I've come across ever. Every other explanation elsewhere has been just plain confusing.

    Contemporary Art: is a deeper meaning of ideas that confronts social narratives, through what is taught vs what is discovered. This approach may cancel materials that were traditionally associated with an expressive form; reinterpretation of colours, presentation, and aesthetic appeal.

    Contemporary artists are into creating saleable objects.
    The industrial scale of the production of objects becomes the meta idea incorporating the on going ideas of each series. . Eg Koons

    Thanks Travis! Any recommendation on what book or literature to study on the side, next to watching your great lectures?

      In Contemporary Art or in general? It depends on how deep you want to get. I like Arthur Danto's stuff but it is very theoretical.

      @@arthistorywithtravisleecla6343 focused on Contemporary Art indeed. Art History in general I already followed your earlier lectures and have bibles “Art through the ages” and Gombrich overview book.

    really interesting. however, I have to share a comment about your statement at around 43:00-ish - that contemporary artists get to choose whatever they want to do and are no longer influenced or controlled or limited by funders and patrons. Ha! Since when??? Artists still need to Survive - and that takes money. If they have family money - then there is their source; Daddy is their 'Patron'' - or if they are funded by the NEA or Guggenheim or what have you, then those funding sources are their 'patrons'. Please note that just about every artists you mentioned so far was a White Male - so do the math; it's well established that white male artists have historically been much more supported than women or people of color. While we're starting to see some changes, thank goodness, the world of contemporary, and certainly Modern art, as you define it, is still a predominantly white male world. Let's hope for more change. But while women and people of color are getting more funding from foundations, etc, until the art world BUYS their art, it is only marginally sustainable. So buy and experience art by people other than white males - and maybe some day more artists will be able to make 'whatever they want.'
    That said, thank you for this presentation.

    Weird how being viewer of angry video game nerd ended up providing some knowledge of contemporary art.

    The only other 'Pop artists' I know of is Andy Warhol, and Ray Johnson, maybe Basquit? Have someone 'shoot' you? That is attention seeking insanity. Andy Warhol used a photo of someone committing suicide jumping off a bridge.

    The cynicism of the new transgressive types is boring and its experiments are a yawn now. To dismiss the entirety of past assumes it did nothing for the enlightenment of humanity.
