The treatment and recontextualization of international art in the museum world both in the U.S. and abroad are analyzed. Also considered are questions around global design, the quotidian, built form, and exhibitionary practice. The objective of the course is to study artworks in exhibitions within the Western museum, political histories of conflict, cultural specificity, and indigenous world views.
