Delights of Ephemera — CUR2227.01

Instructor: Anne Thompson
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

Delights of Ephemera explores the significance of mass-produced materials in the context of art movements and exhibitions. Contrary to its definition, ephemera can have power and permanence, giving agency to marginal and marginalized groups and providing a record of actions outside institutional structures. A poster for an exhibition can be as important—or, in terms of its historical presence, more important—as the exhibition itself.
