THE CODES OF THE GLOBAL IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY (Libro en papel)

de GUASCH FERRER, ANNA MARIA

Sinopsis

At the start of the twenty-first century, the contemporary implies aclear desire to affirm a type of art that is expanding across theglobe, challenging old geographical borders, and reclaiming narratives of place and displacement, in other words, new cultural practicesthat transfigure the relationship between the global and the local,and articulate the discourse of difference. Being in the place of here and now, working with others in simultaneous and specific practice,and contemplating the production of work in the experience ofconnection means raising the value of the performative aspect ofpractice and displacing the reflective role of cultural production. In the new cartography of this multifarious global art, the author, whocombines theoretical and curatorial discourse with creative practice,defines how global concepts circulate from the critical analysis oftransnational contemporary art to the global.
