Introduction: Professor Mallica Kumbera Landrus, Ashmolean Museum
Moderator: Professor Geoffrey Batchen, University of Oxford
Focussing on examples from South and Southeast Asia, this talk analyses the “worlding” of contemporary art in the complex interplay of the local and the global. It explores the multiple valences of local belonging and international representation in the production of meaning in the eternal present of a seemingly contextless contemporaneity.
