Dialogue en ligne : « Vers une approche transnationale de l’art américain : Isamu Noguchi en Inde et au-delà » (24 février 2021)

Dans ce dialogue en ligne, Katy Siegel (Thaw Endowed Chair in Modern American Art, Stony Brook University et Senior Research Curator, Baltimore Museum of Art) et Devika Singh (Curator, International Art, Tate Modern) situent les artistes américains dans les histoires d’art transnationales.

En examinant les œuvres de l’artiste Isamu Noguchi réalisées en Inde, Devika Singh reconsidère les récits transnationaux qui ont traditionnellement été racontés d’un point de vue occidental et réaffirme le pouvoir des centres d’art établis en tant que lieux de brassages interculturels.

A Conflicted Geography: African American Artists & African Diaspora

Among the critical questions that mark African American art historical scholarship today, the legacy of slavery and the transmission of cultural memories rooted in African traditions have emerged as some of the most loaded issues. Tracing the importance of the Afro-Atlantic diaspora in current debates has been recognized as an urgent task, which concerns critics and historians, as well as artists. Critical thinking on the subject is heightened by the growing breach between those who refuse to consider black art a distinct category, speaking instead to its universal experience, and voices that claim its unequivocal difference, with race at its very core.

This dialogue will reflect on racial politics and the geography of global circulation by asking how American art has, from the nineteenth century onwards, been interwoven with African/African . . . → En lire plus
