Edited with text by Binna Choi, Lisa Rosendahl, Grant Watson, Andrea Phillips. Text by Sara Ahmed, Rustom Bharucha, Alice Creischer, Andreas Siekmann, Matthijs de Bruijne, Kodwo Eshun, Anjalika Sagar, Leela Gandhi, Johanna Gustavsson, Christian Nyampeta, Park Chan-kyong.
Practising Art Internationally aims to detach the notion of international art practice from a rhetoric of globalization and an exclusive focus on the contemporary. It traces a new genealogy of trans-local practices and methods, presenting the visual arts as part of a longer history of contact between individuals motivated by shared struggles, friendship and solidarity.
The publication explores what it means to “practice internationally” in a series of case studies: an artists’ assembly from the 1990s organized against an art fair, an artist’s alliance with migrant workers, a class-based critique within international feminism, transcultural ways of life developed in the LGBTQ community, an analysis of work conditions in cultural institutions, early 20th-century cosmopolitanism in India and pan-Africanism in the second half of the 20th century. These examples show how artistic practices can generate new encounters, ways of life and historical narratives across borders.
