Situating Global Art

Since the early 1990s, the term "Global Art" has gone hand in hand with an expansion of the canon while not always reflecting the plurality of art worlds. This volume interrogates contemporary practices of art, curating, historiography and criticism with regard to their transcultural situatedness.

In recent years, the term global art has become a catchphrase in contemporary art discourses. Going beyond additive notions of canon expansion, this volume encourages a differentiated inquiry into the complex aesthetic, cultural, historical, political, epistemological and socio-economic implications of both the term global art itself and the practices it subsumes. Focusing on diverse examples of art, curating, historiography and criticism, the contributions not only take into account (new) hegemonies and exclusions but also the shifting conditions of transcultural art production, circulation and reception.
