Ph.D in THEORIES AND HISTORY OF ARTS
We invite applications for an 4-week graduate course devoted to the study of the production, sale, and exchange of works of art and luxury goods. The course also considers the role of merchants, patrons and collectors in framing taste over a broad chronological period (16th-21st centuries).
Our topics are these:
- the creation of artifacts for a range of evolving markets
- the spaces for the sale and production of art and luxury goods
- patterns of transportation, exchange, and trade
- the interaction of collectors, merchants, and producers
- the spaces and contexts of display and collections
The course will introduce graduate students to different disciplinary approaches through theoretical reflection, research presentations and site-based discussion. The program includes a visit to the Venice Biennale, and study trips to Paris and Basel to view museums and the Documenta exhibition. Teaching will take place in English. We welcome applications from graduate students. No tuition fees will be charged for external students, who will only need to cover their living expenses.
The deadline for submission is February 16th 2009, for information please contact: ars@univiu.org
