This book addresses the art historical category of "contemporary
art" from a transregional perspective, but unlike other volumes of
its kind, it focuses in on non-Western instantiations of "the
contemporary." The book concerns itself with the historical
conditions in which a radically new mode of artistic production,
distribution, and consumption – called "contemporary art" –
emerged in some countries of Eastern Europe, the post-Soviet
republics of the USSR, India, Latin America, and the Middle East,
following both local and broader sociopolitical processes of
modernization and neoliberalization. Its main argument is that one
cannot fully engage with the idea of the "global contemporary"
without also paying careful attention to the particular, local,
and/or national symptoms of the contemporary condition. Part I is
methodological and theoretical in scope, while Part II is
historical and documentary. For the latter, a number of case
studies address the emergence of the category "contemporary art" in
the context of Lebanon, Egypt, India, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Armenia, and Moldova. The book will be of
interest to scholars working in art history, globalism, cultural
studies, and postcolonial studies.
