AsiaAmerica: Asian American Art and Architecture

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course focuses on modern and contemporary Asian American art and architecture from the mid-1800s to the present. Using a comparative perspective, each week utilizes case studies—works by particular artists, architects, or art groups—to examine what Asian American art looked like at specific historical junctures and what it meant to be an Asian American artist. A range of material practices, including painting, sculpture, installation, performance, new media, architecture, and graphic illustration are considered.
