Symposium: Storms and Networks Event

Modernismen in einem erweiterten territorialen Kontext
In the Eye of the Storm

Ab 1900 gingen von verschiedenen Regionen Mittel- und Südosteuropas entscheidende Impulse für die moderne Kunst aus. Die Herausforderung besteht heute darin, die Reichweite dieser vernetzten und sich entwickelnden Moderne im breiteren kulturellen Kontext zu definieren. Wo liegen die geopolitischen Grenzen der „Moderne“? Das Belvedere lädt zu einem Symposium, bei dem Expert*innen diese und andere Fragen zu peripheren Kunstzentren diskutieren.

Veranstaltung in englischer Sprache.
