The topic for the Spring semester 2023 is Art and Ecology. The course introduces ways of thinking about art and ecology as articulated in art practice and theory in the 20th and 21st Centuries.

The course invites students to engage in critical and close readings of both philosophical texts and artworks and movements from a range of historical periods, relevant to their own work.
The course requires independent research and reading.
