Entangled Histories.

Konferenz - Zentrum für GegenwartsKunst
Alternative Descriptions of Modernity and the Contemporary in History and Self-Conception
In recent years, global art history, postcolonial and poststructuralist theory contributed to a self-reflexive diversification of art historical endeavors. These repercussions enabled a discursive shift of earlier conceptions of Modernisms, Modernities, and their inherent epistemological governance, calling for new
concepts and redefinitions of terms. In the face of globalization, we must rethink concepts of Modernities; the ‘classical’ and any static conceptualization of Modernity is insufficient for a more in-depth study of Modern art histories.

Therefore, it is necessary to reflect on theoretical concepts of Modernities, which may help us consider the complexity and multitude of Modern and Contemporary Art and liberate its artistic expression from constant comparison and tropes of imitation and belatedness.
