Samenvatting
The topic of this special issue of the magazine Matatu is: contemporary African art. With the following subjects described by nineteen contributors. What network of relationships between territories, identities and discourses is established here? How are the visual arts located in the political arena and how can they redefine it? In what ways do contemporary artists draw on what is signified as African heritage and/or Western iconographies and how may both be reconfigured in the process? How do contemporary art forms interact with other media such as video, performance, theatre and literature? And how do they interact with the space of presentation, the gallery or the museum, in which they are most often seen? |
