Subject: CONF: The Art Market and the Global South (Lisbon 21-24 Nov 19)
Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon, November 21 – 24, 2019
Registration deadline: Oct 31, 2019
THE ART MARKET AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH: NEW PERSPECTIVES AND PLURAL APPROACHES
International Conference
MUSEU NACIONAL DE ARTE ANTIGA, LISBON
Rua das Janelas Verdes, 1249-017 Lisboa, Portugal
(see below for registration)
This conference will discuss the developments, the disruptions and new perspectives that can be observed in the current art market as seen from the Global South (a term here used to refer to emerging economies of the southern hemisphere: South America, Africa, India, South-Eastern Asia, Southern Europe, but not limited to these geographic areas) and their contribution to the development of art markets worldwide. We will explore the Global South as a thematic frame and through different disciplinary viewpoints in order to re-think the cross-cultural and economic flows and to investigate the various local practices of the art market. Furthermore, we wish to analyze the Global South as a set of spaces and players affected by the contemporary art trade. In doing so we will particularly focus on the rise of new art markets in these regions and their impact on the global art system, its history, its changing processes and its networks – but also on the circulation of art. A selection of the presented papers will be later published in Revista de História da Arte, Série W, a peer-reviewed online journal.
