Product Description
In the age of globalization culture is no longer understood as a discrete and unique expression of activities that occur in particular places. The inherent contradictions and tensions have forced contemporary artists and curators alike to rethink their conceptual frameworks. While sometimes distinctions between self and other, eurocentricity and other cultures have been transformed, often the conventional hierarchies just take more insidious forms.
In the age of globalization culture is no longer understood as a discrete and unique expression of activities that occur in particular places. The inherent contradictions and tensions have forced contemporary artists and curators alike to rethink their conceptual frameworks. While sometimes distinctions between self and other, eurocentricity and other cultures have been transformed, often the conventional hierarchies just take more insidious forms.
In this collection of essays Nikos Papastergiadis begins with an evaluation and review of art history and cultural theory today. The essays which follow describe his response to the work of Christo, Pavel Buchler and John Berger among others, many of the pieces written in close collaboration with the artists themselves.

Dr. Nikos Papastergiadis is Senior Lecturer and Head of the Centre for Ideas at the Victorian College of the Arts, Australia's leading art college. His publications for Rivers Oram are Dialogues in the Diaspora, and, as co-editor, Random Access and Ambient Fears.
