Learning outcomes

The course is focused on the topic of the contemporary art and its present changes which to the forefront of theoretical and practical interest places the beholder and his/her role in the contemporary art operation. The beholder is engaged within the current art world on many levels and he/she is "counted on" in curator intentions of exhibitions, in entertainment and in all thinkable art events where the role of beholder is focused on with unusual power and intensity. In the field of curatorship, this phenomenon received a label "educative switch" but completely right is a label "switch to the beholder". The course will focus on these changes of the role of beholder in the contemporary art and refers to the similarity of art experiments with other ones on humans which were or still are on the edge or behind the edge of ethical tolerance. The course will focus on the topics such as human dignity or the issue of slippery slope.
A student will gain the overview in main ethical theories and can apply on the topics of contemporary art. He/she will develop the term basis needed for understanding of ethical and esthetical problems. He/she will be capable of independent argumentation. He/she will develop the ability to understand the texts and discuss and think independently within ethics and aesthetics.
