Art in the Anthropocene:
This course aims to take an interdisciplinary approach to the complex and often contested topic of the Anthropocene to equip students to analyze and work with complex issues both systematically and artistically. By addressing a range of critical issues we can better define the role that artists take in developing creative and constructive responses to the rapidly changing social, political and ecological conditions of the Anthropocene. |

| Õppeaine sisu |
|---|
| The concept of the Anthropocene has gathered significant momentum since it was introduced 20 years ago by scientists Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer in a concise paper (published in the International Geosphere–Biosphere Programme newsletter). While the term itself has instigated a good deal of controversy, there is a general consensus on the necessity of new terminologies to be adopted as a way of describing the impact of human activities on a planetary scale. This complex historical narrative is as much about the relationship between humans and nature, as it is about our own cultural ethics and ideals. This course critically examines the historical foundations of the Anthropocene, its adoption in science and popular culture, as well as its key claims about the long-term impact of humanity on the planet. As such, it is a powerful idea that demands engagement to provide a deeper understanding of the scientific and cultural background on this “new geological era” and its impact on contemporary discourses affecting artistic practice. Key questions include, what roles can artists play in the Anthropocene debate and what messages can be conveyed through artistic practices regarding the Anthropocene? |

| Project: My life in the Anthropocene. Keep a semester long journal or diary that reflects on everyday aspects related to living in, with or adapting to life in the current ‘post-natural’ age, widely recognized as the Anthropocene. This can take the form of an online (blog, tumblr, instagram etc) or offline (notebook, series of drawings, photos etc) record. Each student is asked to present a journal with at least 15-20 ‘entries’ each with a short text description followed by some related content (drawing, photo, longer text etc.). Simple ‘copy and paste’ or ‘link only’ entries (retweet, regram) can be included but do not count without your own added reflections. Entries should not only include personal reflections or ‘factiods’ but also artistic responses of some kind (sketches, photos, performances, public interventions etc.). |
