Course Description: What is “global contemporary art”? Often used as a catchall term for art of the present in a globalcontext, meant to include art from around the world and art engaged with global circulation, thinking, and subject positions, the term emerged in acknowledgment of the distinctive connectedness (and rootlessness) of the world in the post-Cold-War digital age and artists’ responses to it. The term (and subfield of art historical study) tends, however, to present contemporaryart as a universalist field of global, formal artistic currents that bridge historical constructions of “West” and “non-West.” In so doing, it risks inattention to local histories as well as other world divisions that persist or arose anew after 1989. Examining these tensions, this seminar investigates global contemporary art as a rich field of art historical study and exciting discourse of methodological debate.

Prerequisite: Graduate standing in art history or related field. No auditing.
