ART IN A GLOBAL AGE
The Walker Art Center's Four-year Initiative Maps New Terrain in Contemporary Art
LIVE WEB CAST
How does art change with a changing world? In a major museum-wide initiative funded by the Bush Foundation, Walker curators have spent four years traveling the world, researching, and meeting with artists and scholars in Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Africa, Turkey, and the United States.
Advised by a global committee made up of curators and scholars from these countries, a new method of engaging with the world's artists was sought.
This year, we present the result of their work, an examination of how globalization is impacting today's visual, new media, film/video, and performing arts. This initiative - comprised of the exhibition How Latitudes Become Forms, a yearlong presentation of film, performance, and Web-based art from around the globe, and an array of educational and interpretive programs - aims to explode expectations of what art is and can be, across borders and artistic disciplines.
