| Summary: | This book comprises a selection of texts by international artists, critics and curators, which aims to renegotiate the relationship between centers and peripheries in contemporary art worlds. In the context of advanced globalization, the distributed agency of networked power structures can hardly be localized any longer in geographical terms. Yet, if we are to turn our attention away from geographical that is, horizontal relations, we can conceive of the central and peripheral as vertical phenomena that can coexist spatially in the shapes of social constructions, genealogies or epistemic formations. Against this backdrop, Turning Inward provides a heterogeneous range of critical reflections upon contemporary art and its modes of production, distribution and consumption. Reaching far beyond the spatial metaphor, the positions assembled in this volume touch on fields such as art history, philosophy, economics, gender studies, urbanism, language and education. |
