...and his altermodernism. His relational aesthetics.

The Global Contemporary
What
strikes me about this exhibition is the clear notion and formulation of a so-called
'global turn'. According to the underlying premise of this exhibition,
geo-political changes starting from 1989 onwards introduced the new age of
biennials ('biennialisation') saying that "Westkunst", as the
dominant art form opposed to peripheral art, is over. Concepts such as the
tendency of mapping art regions, crisis of Western definition of art, art
market critiques, Arthur C. Danto's art worlds, definitions of modernism,
Nicolas Bourriaud's altermodernity, diaspora and identity were heavily
referenced.
In my
opinion: A lot of talk about a boom of new art and new ways of art. This
impression of progress and bright future makes me sceptical...
Nevertheless, the aim of the exhibition was to show artistic productions from all over the world, that have had impacts on the global contemporary art scene so far, introducing a number of interesting works of art by many non-western artists.

FAQ
Who can participate?
The tour is generally open to everyone, present students, former students, students of each subject and degree. It is not obligatory for the seminar students, neither. There should be strong interest in one artistic field and a minimum willingness to engage in preparatory steps which would be negotiated internally depending on the field of activity of each participant.
However, the number of "seats" are limited and our present students have a certain right before external people. But still, it is worth writing us and joining the 16th!
What will it cost?
So far we can only estimate. Flight, local transportation and accomodation won't be very cheap, obviously. But precise calculations are still not available (Flight around 600-700 Euro, eating is cheap, accomodation is not so cheap in Mumbai - although it is India). More Information on the 16th.
