CONF: Co-Constituting the Global (Berlin, 22 Jun 18)

Co-Constituting the Global

ICI Berlin
Christinenstraße 18-19, Haus 8
June 22, 2018
3:00 -9:00 p.m.

Public part of the 2-day working session programme of Global Asia / Pacific Art Exchange (GAX) 2018 in Berlin

Co-constituting the Global addresses the lived entanglements of the global that are not adequately theorized by notions of the global and the local, which bifurcate experiences that are necessarily co-constituting. It will take up the question of how artworks, artists, cultural producers, art historians, historians, and theorists who simultaneously exist on multiple and intertwining scales, co-constitute the global in relation with one another through meaning making/world-making processes of (critical) interconnecting, social networks, transnational/transcultural historiography, the circulation of objects, and imagined communities.

CONF: Objects of Exchange: Art and Economic Encounters (Paris, 7-8 Sep 17)

Published on by Art Market Studies

International Symposium
Institut National d’Histoire de l’art (INHA)
Paris, 07. – 08.09.2017

Org. Alexander Alberro (Columbia University), Sophie Cras (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne)

Exchange is classically described by economists as a phenomenon of equalization of values within a given system. When heterogeneous orders of economic rationalities meet, material objects and practices come to embody the paradoxes of dissonant exchange. This symposium aims to explore how artifacts and artistic practices have materialized ruptures within, and encounters between, economic systems in the modern and contemporary period.
