Session 1: Globalisation & Art - A Brief History
Paul Wood considers some historical precedents for the relation of western art to the art of the rest of the world. In particular, he talks about the early 20th century avant-gardist notion of 'the primitive' and the break-up of this idea in the later 20th century. He then considers some of the different types of challenge posed to received ideas of art by the increasingly globalised practice of the present day, and in particular problems posed by the absorption of certain non-western cultural practices and products into the international market.
