Interstices: Negotiations at Contemporary Art’s Boundaries de Alexander Alberro

Interstices: Negotiations at Contemporary Art’s Boundaries

Autor Alexander Alberro
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2025
 An exploration of innovative practices flourishing at the margins of Western art.
 
With this book, Alexander Alberro engages decolonial theory to explore the dynamic exchanges that occur where the ideals and values of different artistic frameworks meet. Resisting notions of a singular art world and global contemporary art, Alberro explores what lies outside of Western art’s hegemonic presence, recognizing the rich multitude of art formations at its periphery, each with its own artistic narratives and conventions. Alberro brings into focus the complex negotiations that are cultivating innovation and transformation at the margins of Western art, showing how this seemingly monolithic framework is both crucial to and insufficient for a comprehensive understanding of contemporary art.
 
His examples include artists and collectives from around the world, including Iosu Aramburu, Subhankar Banerjee, Yto Barrada, Mabe Bethônico, El Colectivo, Maria Galindo and Mujeres Creando, Bouchra Khalili, Multiplicity, Lucy Orta, Raqs Media Collective, Tracey Rose, Doris Salcedo, Yinka Shonibare, World of Matter, and Yin Xiuzhen. As notions of transculturation and decoloniality continue to drive conversations about contemporary art, Interstices offers a critical explanation of what is at stake, showing how the tensions at the edges of the Western art framework are pushing it toward its discursive limits.

Recenzii

"The book reconsiders the art of marginalised, subjugated and colonised people within the context of neoliberal globalisation. It is an ‘interstitial perspective,’ attentive to displacement, diaspora, stereotyping, migrancy and appropriation across various borderlands: post-apartheid South Africa, the Mediterranean, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Viceroyalty of Peru and Potosí in Bolivia. The works that Alberro discusses resist Western cultural hegemony by being contingent, unruly, difficult, defaced, disastrous and otherwise disruptive. . . . Above all, it is a book about the politics of attention: how and where we look, how we are seen, what is withheld, what we hide to ourselves and who, ultimately, controls the means of expression. . . . Like Alberro, we must cast our attention beyond the frame, the boundary, and the border – or risk finding ourselves, too, adrift."

“Alberro shows that ‘global contemporary art’ is a North Atlantic fiction, pervasive and insidious, that acts as a massive provincializing machine. Offering acute accounts of wide range of examples, Alberro traces how artists—especially art collectives—in many parts of the world are negotiating new modes of transcultural exchange at the margins, while at the same time enriching the independence of local cultures. This mix anticipates the worlds, and the art, to come."

“With his compelling account of art at the margins, Alberro contributes powerfully to the growing voices of those who see clearly that, as colonial racial capitalism is threatening life on a global scale, to decolonize nature, end the violence of extraction, and enact creative worldbuilding otherwise is today more than ever urgent.”

“A most timely investigation of the freedoms and prohibitions on artists to cross borders. What does it mean, if it can or should still mean anything, for "the West" to stand or not to stand at the gates of entry to the artworld? How are the visible and invisible lines drawn, and in how many directions do they flow, in a world that claims globalization? Alberro’s new book is a great contribution to thinking about these and many more questions.”
