How can we rewrite art history in a more global, social, and balanced way? Traditional methods of analysing artworks, archives, and memories have long maintained a hierarchical and diffusionist approach, which aimed to justify the influence of a few “stars” and certain centres (Paris and New York). To broaden the scope, these methods need to be complemented with new perspectives.
Two approaches are helpful in achieving this: digital tools and the geopolitical lens. Both contribute to a more adaptable and decentralised history of artistic modernities. They also offer fresh perspectives on how the current art canon was shaped—and how it can be challenged.
Organised by MAC/CCB in collaboration with the Institute of Art History, NOVA FCSH.
With Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel (Professor and Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Geneva). Author of Les avant-gardes artistiques 1918–1945: Une histoire transnationale (2017).
As part of the exhibition An Atlantic Drift. The arts of the 20th century based on the Berardo Collection
