Beschreibung:
Jane Chin Davidson is Associate Professor and Curator of Contemporary Art, Art History and Asian Art at California State University, San Bernardino, USA. Her research focuses on global exhibitions, transnational gender identity, and contemporary performance.
Global Art and the Practice of the University-Museum provides new thinking on exhibitions of global art in relation to the institution defined by the partnership of the university and the museum. The book initiates a larger dialogue and inquiry into the value, contribution and model of the university-museum through exploring the way in which it has overseen the changes to a "global art." Through an approach that focuses on the "university-museum," the book traces how museum practices have expanded the understanding of the "art object."
