In this course, we will work in tandem with the philosophical inquiry you are undertaking in PHIL1601 to engage with two central questions. First, how do visual artists participate in traditions of making? When and how do they choose to continue or depart from those traditions? Can there be a modern tradition given our circumstances of perpetual disruption? Second, how can art-making be a space of interaction between people from different times or in different places? When artists borrow techniques, forms, symbols, or subject matter from each other, do their meanings change, persist, or evolve in some other way? What new possibilities and/or problems can emerge from encounters between distinct cultural traditions?
