Inhoud

It is now commonplace to position current artistic production within the field of “global contemporary art.” Yet the phrase “global contemporary art” provokes more questions than it answers. How did the art world expand beyond its historical centers of power in Europe and the United States? What is the relationship between the dynamics of artistic production and the economic process known as globalization? Who benefits from the current structure of the global contemporary art world? In this course, we will examine the “global” status of contemporary art while paying particular attention to artists working in marginalized communities and the global south—including case studies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Topics of lectures and discussions will include: the rise of international exhibitions; the expansion of the art market; new media and the circulation of information; the enduring effects of colonialism and imperialism; alternative models of local and transnational artistic production; and artists’ responses to the most pressing issues of our time, from migration to environmental crisis. We will also explore some of the major Dutch institutions involved in shaping the field of global contemporary art.
