Author Description

The newest issue from the biannual journal of art history and theory. Established in 1998, Afterall is a journal of contemporary art that provides an in-depth analysis of art and its social, political, and philosophical contexts. Each issue provides the reader with well-researched contributions that discuss each artist's work from different perspectives. Contextual essays and other texts discussing events, works, or exhibitions further develop the thematic focus of each issue. Issue 57 pursues Afterall's ongoing interest in conversations about the new political and ethical responsibilities faced by the global art world in which exhibitions become sites of translation of the realities of the non-western world and of experimentation with progressive and emancipatory internationalisms. Themes covered in this issue include Eurasia as Exhibitionary Space, the Rise of Indigenous Reason, and art practices that go beyond the East-West Paradigm.
