Panel at SECAC 2016

Dear SHERA,

I'm looking for 1-2 more presenters to participate in the following session
at SECAC 2016 (http://www.secacart.org/conference):


*Art after 1989/1991*This session will examine how the events of, and
around, 1989/1991 changed the conditions of possibility for artistic
practice outside of Western Europe and the United States, as well as the
structure and values of contemporary art on an international scale. The
dissolution of the U.S.S.R. in 1991 coincided with pivotal events including
the reunification of Germany, the end of apartheid in South Africa, the
adoption of neoliberal Washington Consensus policies in Latin America, and
the market boom in Chinese art. Together, these geopolitical events and
cultural shifts exponentially accelerated extant processes of globalization
within the artworld and beyond. This panel concerns the repercussions of
globalization for the production, circulation, and promotion of
non-Euro-American contemporary art. Focusing on fluctuating exchanges
between the "local" and the "global," papers may address questions such as:
What strategies have artists used to engage their local contexts while
addressing an increasingly transnational network of market and media
structures? What is the relationship between the "post-colonial" and the
"post-Soviet" in contemporary art? What are the implications of the "global
turn" for the field of art history? How did the appearance of new art
scenes in the 1990s affect the circumstances of art-making in established
artworld centers?

If interested, please send a brief abstract and current CV to
[email protected] by *May 9th*.

All the best,
Michelle
