'With Global Studies: Mapping Contemporary Art and Culture, the project "GAM - Global Art and the Museum" seeks to provide an overview of the institutional and ideological landscape of contemporary art and culture in a global context. In the last decades, the increasing complexity of political, economic, and social relationships worldwide has been shaping the worlds of art and culture, whose institutions often have yet to adapt to new local and global conditions.
Museums, biennials, and diverging art markets take on different roles in different places, while they themselves become the subject matter of a steadily diversifying range of academic disciplines. In this book, case studies on individual artists, regional scenes, and their relations to the global demonstrate the diversity and conflicts within the art worlds and provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary discussion of these issues by historians, cultural studies scholars, and social scientists.' (Back cover)
The book is the third volume from the series 'GAM - Global Art and the Museum' from the ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany. The two previous volumes include Contemporary Art and the Museum: A Global Perspective (2007) and The Global art World: Audiences, Markets, and Museums (2009). The essays in the book represent the events of two conferences held in June 2009 and June 2010 organised by the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe with funding from the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
Includes illustrations, bibliography, and biographies of contributing authors.
