UG SEMINAR: MEMORY, IDENTITY, AND BELONGING: AMERICA AND ITS PUBLIC ARTS (4 UNITS) Mondays 4:00-7:00 425 Doe, CCN 05594 Kevin Muller

This course considers the production and reception of public art in America from the Revolution to 9/11. It is organized as a series of case studies investigating how different forms of public art have engaged issues of memory, identity, and belonging. Discussing mural painting, sculpture, and architecture as well as more informal public art media, we will address not only the moments of creation, but also the presence of public art objects within daily life and popular culture.
