Art out of Time: Transhistorical Approaches

Does an artwork only belong to the period in which it is created, or should it be interpreted in our present today’s context? To what extent are there formal and conceptual links between contemporary art and works from the past?  Are combined presentations of past and present art works, as is increasingly done in current museum exhibitions, meaningful or even necessary? How do works from the past inform our present modes of looking and interpretation?

This seminar will address these and related issues (including anachronism, period eye, and reception theory) by examining current debates on the relationship of historical to modern art and looking at recent transhistorical museum exhibitions (Base in the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; The Shape of Time, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Wien, 2018 and all exhibitions in the Frans Hals Museum).  Contemporary art based on masterpieces of the past (such as of Fiona Tan, Francis Alÿs and Kara Walker) will also be discussed.
