Description: ART370 Abstract Painting "Once Removed"
In 1998, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Houston held the exhibition Abstract Painting "Once Removed." It focused on work by artists who were pushing the boundaries of this age-old medium to produce edgy and provocative “paintings” which are distanced from the “pure” abstraction of earlier periods. This course will retrace the works included, similar exhibitions, curatorial trends, artists and their intentions, covering the decade since the show. Working in reverse chronology, this course will also reference abstraction’s modernist roots, but in a limited and careful way, as this project’s ambition is to break from this “past.” (Spring 09, 3 credit hrs.)
