Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

Processes of globalization have increasingly structured the ways in which art institutions and their audiences display and perceive the world. This course will attempt to address some of the theoretical problems facing contemporary art in the global context from the display of others to theories of subjectivity impacted by the increasing movement of peoples and expansion of communication technologies. The course explores some historical precedents of exhibiting global cultures beginning with colonial and world exhibitions. It also examines a number of global exhibitions in recent decades as case studies in exhibiting the global.
