This summer, University of Kansas students can take humanities classes on the streets and in museums, galleries and art studios of New York City as part of the summer institute offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The five-week program, called "Art and Culture in New York," focuses on visual art and architecture in New York City in their social and cultural context. The program, which is in its first year, starts May 26 and ends June 27.
"We are going to talk about what modern and postmodern art are, and how they are related to the culture as a whole," said Philip Barnard, assistant professor of English.
"For the last half of the 20th century, New York is the center of the art world for the whole globe." Barnard said. "If you are interested in modern art, New York is the city."
Barnard, Cheryl Lester, assistant professor of English and comparative literature, and Gary Shapiro, professor of philosophy, are instructors for the program.
The program offers two classes. In the "Contemporary Art Criticism and Theory" class, students learn themes in the criticism of recent art.
The "Art and Architecture in New York" class deals with the history of the city and its architecture.
Students who join this program can earn
three credit hours in humanities and comparative literature for each class.
Students can also earn credits through internships at galleries or art studios.
Distinguished authors and critics, such as Arthur Dungo, professor of philosophy at Columbia University, and Lucy Lippard, art critic, will lecture for the classes.
Students will live in the dormitories of New York University's Greenwich Village campus, which is within walking distance of Soho, where many artists have studios.
Shapiro said participants would have a "New York survival meeting" before they left for the city. They will also take a cruise around Manhattan to become familiar with
"The first thing we want to do is to help everyone to get oriented," Shapiro said.
About 20 students attended a meeting about the program at the Kansas Union yesterday afternoon. Toby Stoner, Wichita senor, said he would join the program if the could afford it.
Besides tuition, which students pay according to the number of credits they attempt, the program costs $250 each year and round trip air fare from Kansas City, Mo., to New York City.
"This is the most exciting program I've ever heard of at the University of Kansas," said
Stoner said he was interested in script writing in New York theaters.
