Glocal & Outsiders
(part of the Prague Biennale 3)

Prague, 13. and 14. July 2007

Since the mid 1990's biennial exhibits in cities such as
Johannesburg, Istanbul, Melbourne, Havana, Sao Paulo and other
expanded the art world's institutional context beyond any
imagination. Art became a new global spectacle which exposes various
cultures and nations to an international audience. Asian contemporary
art has become something like a fashion and museums are being built
at an increasing rate in Asia as well as throughout South America
with new collectors popping up all over the world. Parallel to this,
art also incorporated emerging technologies and developed various
interdisciplinary relations to science and industry. Technological
innovations and artistic creativity joined forces in various new
media festivals and events which brought new and very diverse groups
and interests into play. Technology and globalization also changed
the economic infrastructure of the art world. Internet services such
as artprice.com allow artists to showcase their work to a very broad
audience of international collectors which fund the contemporary art
boom. On the other hand, many artists use the distributive and peer
to peer properties of the internet to experiment with new economic models.
Artists, critics, curators but also buyers are part of these global
and technological exchanges and it is not clear yet whether these
interdependences, integrations and interactions lead to reduction in
diversity, to assimilation or to hybridization:
What are the challenges artworld is facing in the time of
globalization and increasing technologization? How to balance
cultural interests and local scenes with global opportunities and art
with technological innovations? How to view the interplay of art and
globalization in the context of complex economic, trade, social,
technological, cultural and political interrelationships? How does
art reflect upon globalization: does it support intercultural and
transnational ideals or it is indifferent to claims of geography,
history, and identity?  How does it resist and how does it support
globalization? Do new institutions and technologies allow us to enjoy
and experience art from different cultures or they unify them? What
new forms of artistic and technical exchanges are taking place? How
does international cooperation help emerging fields of art? How can
new technologies expand  the social, economical, cultural and
artistic aspects? What are the limits or possibilities on the
technological level to build art projects that improve international
cooperation? Do emerging technologies and art institutions support
cultural diversity or they level it?

We are calling for proposals by cultural theorists, cultural
historians, museum experts, art historians, art curators and experts
of other disciplines. Any program formats (papers, roundtable
discussions, media presentations etc.) are welcommed.

Proposals should include the following items:
1. Preliminary abstract, 150-300 words.
2. CV with e-mail address, phone and fax numbers.

Please send them by May 30, 2007 via e-mail to: Denisa Kera (kera AT
ff.cuni.cz)  and Aurelie Besson (aurelie AT ciant.cz)
