Zones of Conflict: Rethinking Contemporary Art During Global Crisis will consider how recent geopolitical crises have impacted visual culture and artistic practice. Comprising four research workshops, the series will assemble an international grouping of interdisciplinary participants—including artists, architects, curators, art historians and cultural theorists—in order to consider pressing questions concerning the intersections between contemporary art and war, statelessness, uneven geographies, and transnational communities. Organized by TJ Demos of UCL’s History of Art Department, the four events will be held in London at four partner institutions: the Institute of International Visual Arts (Iniva), Tate Modern, Tate Britain, and UCL’s History of Art Department (in cooperation with its recently inaugurated Centre for the Study of Contemporary Art). The series is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and will run between October 2008 and February 2009.
