CONTEMPORARY ART AT THE BIENNALE
Prerequisites: None
Instructor: Alexander Alberro
This course introduces the relationship between contemporary artistic practices and the Venice Biennale. The Biennale has become one of the most important international contemporary art and architecture fairs. This course will expose students to the historical, political, and cultural developments linked to the biennale from its inception in 1895 to present day. In addition to regular class meetings with slide lectures and seminar-style discussion in the classroom, students will visit exhibition spaces located in the historical pavilions of the giardini (fair gardens), the arsenale (a 16th century warehouse space now used to host sections of this contemporary art installations), and other temporary venues located throughout the city as we investigate not only the art, but also the unique spaces in which we encounter it. Beyond a focus on the history of the Venice Biennale, the course will introduce some of the key concepts of contemporary art as they have developed in the past three or so decades.

Migration, Displacement and Diaspora in
MIGRATIONDISPLACEDIASPORA FR
MENA4100OC: Migration, Displacement and Diaspora in the Contemporary Mediterranean. 3 points.
Instructor:
Madeleine Dobie
Taught in English.
This course is approved as a Global Core at Columbia.
This course examines the social, political and cultural history of migration in the Mediterranean,
with a particular focus on France and Africa. We examine the forces that have underpinned
migration in the nations of the Mediterranean rim since the 1950s and observe major transitions
in policy and legal frameworks. Though migration is often treated in mainstream media as an
object of policy and legislation, it is better approached as a ‘total social fact’ involving political,
social, economic and cultural dimensions. With this in mind, we look at different media, genres
and narrative forms in which migration has been represented and debated and grapple with
questions about the relationship between lived experience and representation and between
politics and the arts.

Arts in Venice
Prerequisites: None
Instructor: TBD
Syllabus, Art in Venice
This course examines the art, architecture, and culture of Venice from the 14th to the 18th century. The goal of the curriculum is for students to acquire a firm visual literacy in order to read works of Venetian art and to familiarize themselves with the methods of art history. The course is set up as a field study, using the city as classroom and supporting site visits in and outside of Venice. The goal is to provide students with a solid visual knowledge and historical understanding of a set of key monuments, and to encourage them to think through the social, political, cultural, and intellectual forces at play in the creation of these works. Each day's choice of monuments is based on a walkable itinerary, visiting churches, confraternities, cloisters, palaces, and museums. Day trips include excursions to Padua and the Palladian villas in Vicenza and the Veneto.
