Exploring Modernisms: Webinar Series
Did modern art subvert dominant ideas? Or was it rather the source of dominating narratives – defining modernism in Europe and the US as the main point of comparison for modernisms across the world?
This series of online webinars (2024-2025) brings together scholars, artists and experts to discuss the basics and entangled details of global art history and artistic practices of modernism(s), with a focus on the fine arts in India and Germany/Switzerland. Taking artistic work as well as theoretical and pedagogical ideas of Prabhakar Barwe and Paul Klee as a starting point, we will explore abstractionism and modernist practices as tools to play with and claim artistic styles.
Whether these are new or familiar ideas to you, the webinar series is meant to be informative for anyone interested in global, South Asian and Central European art history. It is part of the research and exhibition project “Intersections & Interventions: Barwe & Klee”. For more information see here (website link or link in bio for instagram).
All webinars will take place online via Zoom and are free to attend. You will be invited to ask questions via the chat function, so bring your questions too!
Prior registration is mandatory!
