Lecture on Wednesday 9 March 2022 at Truro College and online
How do we make sense of the art of our time? In this lecture, Anna examines some of the recent trends and practices which have helped to define the art of the new millennium. She will show how under the influence of globalization, art from other continents which has so often been overlooked in the past, now plays a major role in museum acquisitions and display. She will consider how and why documentary practices and new media have become so dominant; and the way in which ‘participation’ and ‘relational aesthetics’ have emerged as key expressions.
