3-4 April, Dis:connected artistic belonging and recognition in global modernity - global dis:connect

the centre
- The global dis:connect research centre, which is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, examines the dynamic, co-constitutive relationship of global integration, absent connections and disintegration in current and historical processes of globalisation.
- the centre
research
- By investigating global dis:connections, we are inaugurating a new field of research. It emphasises the role of delays and detours, of interruptions and resistances, of the active absence of connections in global contexts and investigates their social significance.
- research
fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

Publications
- global dis:connect publishes innovative interventions on dis:connectivity across a range of media, from the blog, which covers the latest news, research and art at gd:c, to static, a periodical containing the best work from within and beyond global dis:connect, in addition to traditional scholarly formats.

3-4 April, Dis:connected artistic belonging and recognition in global modernity

The 20th century was characterized by high mobility and circulation of artists. Art history is increasingly paying attention to dis:connectivities of transnational artistic trajectories and their roles in shaping multiple modernities. This workshop interrogates which historiographic narratives artists on the move get inscribed into, juxtaposing these narratives with the artists’ own perceptions of professional belonging and recognition. By artists on the move, we understand (visual) artists who have left their places of origin and ended up elsewhere, intentionally or unintentionally.

We examine whether such a move constitutes a detour in the artists’ life and career, in that it diverts a (personal or professional) trajectory, and how the move and new place of creation affects the artist’s career and inscription into institutional, art historical and hegemonic narratives. We are especially interested in artists who went to places outside well-established centres of modernity. How were they received in these places, what were their own expectations regarding their professional and personal development, and how were these matched? The question of dis:connectivity is pertinent in that it highlights the possibility of being at once connected and disconnected to different narratives of belonging and recognition and potential tensions between subjective perceptions and formal histories.
