Presentation
This subject consists of the demonstration, analysis and debate of a set of relevant themes and contemporary artistic production procedures in order to, on the one hand, provide students with the extension of cultural knowledge within the scope of contemporary art (also considering its historical, social and technological framework), on the other, to promote and develop the understanding of different perspective discourses and artistic processes that can contribute to the development and deepening of each student artistic identity.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The methodology focuses on the student’s active participation in their learning process, encouraging their commitment/investment in achieving the objectives of the subject. All syllabus contents (and pedagogical resources) are previously available through Moddle, allowing students to come prepared for class (Flipped Classroom) debating collectively on the themes/artists/works they consider most relevant to their artistic practice and thus formulating their own questions and concerns. The knowledge acquired through solving real-world problems (Hands-on) is put into practice while promoting the development of soft skills such as autonomy, organization, analytical and critical thinking, and argumentative and critical discourse in the artistic universe. Whenever possible, study visits will be organized or invitations will be sent to artists/curators, enhancing proximity to the artistic and cultural community.
