From Biennale to biennials. The impossible desire
[Italian version below]
In 2000, René Block states that « the term ‘biennial’ is not protected by copyright and consequently is open to abuse » (Glaser, 2000). The following year, the Revista USP publishes an article by Ivo Mesquita, which begins with a long list of biennials, making us travel to the five continents (Mesquita, 2001/2002). And « Bienais, bienais, bienais… » is also the title of the roundtable discussion that, on the occasion of Em vivo contato (28th São Paulo Biennial, 2008), sought to elaborate categories and typologies of biennials and to define their different goals, adding to previous or ongoing attempts (Enwezor, 2003/2004; Bydler, 2004; Van Hal, 2010).
Biennials are a true puzzle because of their . . . → En lire plus

Deadline: Jan 15, 2023
Special issue of « World Art ». Guest editors: Yvonne Low (PhD, University of Sydney) and Phoebe Scott (PhD, National Gallery Singapore).
This issue critically explores how “primitivism” has been mobilised by modern artists from the Asia-Oceania region. The term “primitivism” is used here to refer to the appropriation, within modern art, of forms or subjects derived from cultures that were perceived as being “non-modern” or “Other .” Within Western art history, modernist primitivism has been subjected to a stringent critique, noting its underlying presumptions of a racist cultural hierarchy, and its embeddedness within various colonial systems. To what extent is this critique also applicable to modernisms in Asia and the Oceania, often produced at a time when . . . → En lire plus

Avant-gardes through the prism of gender in the German-speaking world from 1945 to the present day: Sociabilities, aesthetics, memories.
International Colloquium , Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 – Lyon, 12-14 October 2023
Organised by Susanne Böhmisch (Aix-Marseille Université), Cécile Chamayou-Kuhn (Université de Lorraine), Sibylle Goepper (Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3), Agathe Mareuge (Sorbonne Université), Élise Petit (Université Grenoble Alpes)
Building on the foundation of research considering the so-called “historical” avant-gardes through the prism of gender[1], our colloquium aims to study the influence of gender relations and logics on the practices, productions and historiography of artistic avant-gardes, experimental arts, and all forms of art claiming to be or belonging to the artistic “margins” from 1945 until today. In this context, the “prism of gender” refers to questions about the place reserved . . . → En lire plus
