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.
