DETALHES
“Scaling Up – Local Densities and Global Art Circulations”
There are now very rich and dense art histories and local practices that engage with the specificity of place, historical designation and particular social, political and cultural formations. Once these begin to circulate widely they are reduced to a simple signifying language that can be accommodated by an international art world. In this talk the problematic we are looking at here is that one cannot reproduce the entirety of local specificity as the work circulates and at the same time one needs to find some form that does signify internationally. What tools do we have at our disposal to rethink this dual modality of arts global circulations?
