Taking the years between 1905 and 1965 as the temporal frame, this conference seeks to rethink Global Modernisms from a transregional perspective. Current conceptualizations of avantgardism and formal innovation often related to places like Paris, New York, Weimar or Moscow continue to inform Global Modernisms’ intellectual field. Global Modernisms are often presented as a symptom for new Westernism that masquerades as the universal.
Concept by Atreyee Gupta (Art Histories and Aesthetic Practices Fellow 2015/2016), Hannah Baader (Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, Max-Planck-Institut / Art Histories and Aesthetic Practices) and Patrick Flores (University of the Philippines and the Vargas Museum, Manila)
