CAXDC2000 Forum 3: Avant-Garde, Modernism and Beyond
This course focuses on visual culture, design, and performance within an epoch that is broadly termed 'modern'; a period roughly aligned with the emergence of the 'avant-garde' in the 19th century and moves toward 'post-modernism' as it continues to unfold though the 20th and 21st centuries. As this course covers a very broad period and many different disciplines, emphasis will be given to the `close up' examination of selected periods, styles and artists/designers/performers/writers. Focus will be given to the social, philosophical, aesthetic contexts which mediate and inform creative expression. Particular attention will be paid to ways in which modernity and 'modern' ideas in art, design and performance migrate, translate and mutate through time, across the globe and within cultures.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
