Aren’t we curious enough? Are we just waiting for the market to change? Or do we consider ‘modern art’ as a western thing? The way we approach ‘modern art’ in our debates assumes we consider it to be universal. However, we exclude a huge part of the world from this discussion. As a result there is a lack of knowledge of modern art in a global context. In this discussion we will investigate the reasons for this unawareness.
The panelists will be Hilke Wagner (Director Albertinum, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden), Godfried Donkor (artist).
Johan Frederik Hartle (Asisstant professor department Philosophy, University of Amsterdam) will lead the discussion.
