An unprecedented work on contemporary art as viewed through a
global lens, offering cutting-edge ideas for decolonizing the art
world and its global community A Companion to Contemporary Art in a
Global Framework explores the ways the fine arts, performing arts,
curation, cultural studies, and art history have attempted to
situate themselves in a more global framework. Offering analyses of
the successes and setbacks of those aiming to globalize the art
world, this innovative volume presents a new and exciting way of
considering art in its global contexts. Essays by an international
panel of leading scholars and practicing artists assert that what
we talk about as ‘art’ is essentially a Western concept, thus
any attempts at understanding art in a global framework requires a
revising of established conceptual definitions. Organized into
three sections, this work first reviews the history and theory of
the visual arts since 1980 and introduces readers to the emerging
area of scholarship that seeks to place contemporary art in a
global framework. The second section traces the progression of
recent developments in the art world, including the voices of
scholars as well as artists in exploring the significance of each
of the four decades since 1980. The final section addresses a wide
range of key themes in contemporary art over this period, such as
the fundamental institutions and ontologies of art practice, and
the interactions between art, politics, and the public sphere. This
exciting new work: Offers offer a wholly new approach to methods
for exploring global dimensions of art Covers many fields of the
contemporary visual art world, including performance art, public
art, curation, and archiving Analyses the grounding of art and its
institutions in European colonialism, along with parallel
structures of Western capitalism, imperialism, and nationalism
Discusses the challenges encountered by scholars and artists who
have attempted to globalize the art world as related to
indigeneity, gender, sexuality, race, colonialism, ethnicity, and
diaspora A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework is
essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students,
scholars, researchers, and general readers interested in exploring
global art beyond the traditional Euro-American context.
