By the end of the semester, we will have examined thirteen very different stories that feature art and artists as a central concern. Spend some time in contemplation. What do the stories have in common? How? Why? How are they opposed? Taken as a whole, what do they have to say about art, culture, and society in the time they were written and received? What do they have to say about our time and place: DCAD, Wilmington, 2023?
