The artist-nomad: between pilgrim and liquid modern -- On artists and other tourists -- Border control and category error -- Translation's gradient -- Globalisation and slow art -- Flows and counterflows in the global city -- Connective and distributed sites: on site-specificity at the biennial -- On "global art."
Summary:
"Over the past quarter century, artists have made powerful interventions in debates around globalisation, addressing various dimensions of cross-border exchange, from mass migration to the dynamics of translation, and devising new ways of conceptualising them. Marcus Verhagen's Flows and Counterflows: Globalisation in Contemporary Art tells the story of those interventions, dwelling in particular on projects that draw out both the dangers and the tangible or imaginable benefits of global exchange."--Publisher's description.
