Conference
With Irene Albers, Silvy Chakkalakal, Joyce S. Cheng, James Clifford, Charles W. Haxthausen, Susanne Leeb, Sven Lütticken, Jenny Nachtigall, Sylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie, Kerstin Stakemeier, Maria Stavrinaki and others
Under the title Deep Time and Crisis, c. 1930, the conference brings together international art historians and writers from a new generation. Starting from Carl Einstein’s theoretical texts on art and the themes of the exhibition, contributors will examine the relationship between the global crises around 1930 and the present. What cultural significance does the recourse to deep time and narratives of origins have, then and now? Which crises in the present seem familiar?
