After World War II, museum and gallery exhibitions, industrial and
trade fairs, biennials, triennials, festivals and world's fairs
increasingly came to be used as locations for the exercise of "soft
power," for displays of cultural diplomacy between nations and as
spaces for addressing areas of social and political contestation.
Exhibitions Beyond Boundaries opens with a substantial introduction
to the key debates, followed by case studies that advance the field
of exhibition histories both geographically and methodologically,
focusing on postwar transnational exchange and the wider networks
engendered through exhibitions. Chapters trace relations across
Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific, and the United
States of America, drawing on a range of approaches and
perspectives, principally from art and design history but also from
social, economic and political history, and museum studies.
Featured case studies include the presentation of African-American
Art at FESMAN '66 and FESTAC '77, the US's 1961 Small Industries
Exhibition in Colombo, Israel's early appearances at the Venice
Biennale, the Vatican Pavilion at the 1964-1965 New York World's
Fair, and Hong Kong's Pavilion at Expo 70 in Tokyo.
