Art and the transnational Caribbean

By Leon Wainwright

Series: Rethinking Art's Histories

0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

Timed out offers a pioneering exploration of modern and contemporary art shaped by the legacies of empire. It concentrates on the transnational Caribbean and the wider Atlantic world to reconsider the dominant narratives of art history. The book examines why art from the Anglophone Caribbean and its diaspora has been marginalised as both 'outside' and 'behind' mainstream art canons, using the politics of space and time to propose a new global art geography.

This work is an essential contribution to world art studies, intersecting debates of temporality and cross-cultural encounter. It highlights how Caribbean artists have confronted notions of belatedness, anachronism, and provincialism that underpin conventional art historical timelines.

Ideal for readers interested in art history, postcolonial studies, and cultural criticism, especially those focused on global and Caribbean perspectives in the arts.

Addresses the 'global turn' in art history by way of the transnational Carribbean, 'Timed Out' is a comprehensive study of the art of the Atlantic world in relation to the mainstream history of art.

'A timely contribution to the expanding field of world art studies. Wainwright conducts a sophisticated argument for the reassessment not just of certain individual artists but of many received assumptions about the writing of art history in a contemporary situation.' Paul Wood, Open University -- Paul Wood

Description

Timed Out is a pioneering study of modern and contemporary art in the aftermath of empire. It addresses the current 'global turn' in the study of art by way of the transnational Caribbean, offering an in-depth account of the Atlantic world in relation to the mainstream history of art.

It looks at why art of the Anglophone Caribbean and its diaspora have been placed not only 'outside' but 'behind' the dominant art canons, and how the politics of space and time can be used to rethink the global geography of art.

This is an essential addition to the growing field of 'world art studies', bringing concerns around temporality together with cross-cultural issues and debates. It shows how art and artists of the Caribbean have encountered and challenged the charges of belatedness, anachronism, provincialism and marginalisation that are fundamental to the time-space logic of art history.
