Claire Bishop. Déjà Vu: Contemporary Art and the Ghosts of
Modernism
One of the most persistent themes in contemporary art since 1989
has been the proliferation of work that addresses 'Modernist
utopias': art that takes twentieth-century architecture and design
as a starting point for contemporary sculpture, installation,
photography, video and research. It seems ironic that Modernism,
the most futurist of movements, is now the subject matter of
retrospective artistic practices.
This lecture raises questions about a contemporary art of
quotation, its relationship to temporality, and its tendency to
bury contemporary concerns behind a fascination with canonical
figures of the past.
Claire Bishop is a Professor in the PhD Program in Art History at
CUNY Graduate Center, New York. Her books include
Installation Art: A Critical History (2005) and Artificial Hells:
Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship (2012). Her
most recent book, Radical Museology, or, What's Contemporary in
Museums of Contemporary Art?, was published last year by Koenig
Books. She is a regular contributor to Artforum.
Organizers of the event: Centre of Art and Education "Rupert",
Vilnius Academy of Art, and National Gallery of Art.
Free entrance, no registration required. The lecture
will be delivered in English.
