Download or read book Dak Art written by Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can an art biennale in Dakar, Senegal, tell us about current discourses surrounding the place of art in the world, and in the academic study of anthropology? This volume investigates the Dak'Art biennale, ranked among the world's top 20 biennials, drawing upon fieldwork, archival research, and the experiences of those involved. In so doing, the chapters make a statement about the impact of globally-acting art biennials, contributing to current scholarship both on biennales and the anthropology of art scene more widely. Part I opens with the history of its foundation and considers it in conjunction with the rise of contemporary art in Senegal. Part II deals with the biennale's various objectives, selection strategies, exhibition spaces, platforms for debate, and discourses between the State, the secretariat and local artists and art world professionals. Part III examines the cyclical creation of contemporary African art, and questions if the Biennial creates local canonical practices. The Epilogue uses the Dak'art biennale to question assumptions around practice in general biennale scholarship and work. Featuring a dialogic structure between practitioners of art and anthropologists, this unique volume will be of interest to students of anthropology, art history and practice, African studies and curatorial practice.

Download or read book An Anthropology of Contemporary Art written by Thomas Fillitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the exciting developments that have occurred in the anthropology of art over the last twenty years, this study uses ethnographic methods to explore shifts in the art market and global contemporary art. Recognizing that the huge diversity of global phenomena requires research on the ground, An Anthropology of Contemporary Art examines the local art markets, biennials, networks of collectors, curators, artists, patrons, auction houses, and museums that constitute the global art world.Divided into four parts – Picture and Medium; World Art Studies and Global Art; Art Markets, Maecenas and Collectors; Participatory Art and Collaboration – chapters go beyond the standard emphasis on Europe and North America to present first-hand fieldwork from a wide range of areas, including Brazil, Turkey, and Asia and the Pacific.With contributions from distinguished anthropologists such as Philippe Descola and Roger Sansi Roca, this book provides a fresh approach to key topics in the discipline. A model for demonstrating how contemporary art can be studied ethnographically, this is a vital read for students in anthropology of art, visual anthropology, visual culture, and related fields.

Download or read book New Spaces for Negotiating Art and Histories in Africa written by Kerstin Pinther and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2015 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s, a new wave of globalization changed the field of cultural production in many African countries and paved the way for major new cultural events. In particular, during the last two decades, an ever growing series of art and cultural centers were and still are being established - often against the background of broader national (art) histories and the historic prominence of the state as the primary patron of the arts. In considering the historical genealogy of these 'new spaces, ' this book examines: the infrastructures and public spaces they create, the theoretical discourses they tap into and explore, the aesthetic and (cultural) political debates they stir, the role they play in the field of cultural institutions and cultural activism, and their relations with state and municipal institutions. (Series: African Art and Visual Cultures - Vol. 2) [Subject: African Studies, Cultural Studies, Art

Download or read book Art Identity and Criticism in East Africa Through the Lens of Art Networks and Cultural Production in Kenya written by Charlie Ainslie and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past century the region of East Africa has experienced rapid urbanization. Nairobi, the largest city and capital of Kenya, is leading this movement by providing a flourishing art scene in which East African visual artists are turning heads, filling auction houses, and providing an established art market. This thesis will examine the contemporary currents behind the bourgeoning visual art market in Nairobi, alongside an investigation of artists, cultural forums and venues in Kenya. Throughout, I will investigate "Western" stereotypes in relation to African art and culture. Lastly, I will examine the impact and role of the media and art criticism in helping both the local and global art world understand art from this region of Africa.
