Forgetting the art world

by Pamela M. Lee

This study examines contemporary art as an active agent in the process of globalisation. Through the analysis of specific artistic practices, it considers the work of art as a medium that both inhabits and creates the globalised world.

brief_description
Today, the art world spins on its axis so quickly that its maps can no longer be read; its borders blur. In Forgetting the Art World, Pamela Lee connects the current state of this world to globalization and its attendant controversies. Contemporary art has responded to globalization with images of movement and migration, borders and multitudes, but Lee looks beyond iconography to view globalization as a world process. Rather than think about the global art world as a socioeconomic phenomenon, or in terms of the imagery it stages and sponsors, Lee considers the work of art s world as a medium through which globalization takes place.
