Description

The work of art's mattering and materialization in a globalized world is a complex issue. In "Forgetting the Art World", Pamela Lee explores how contemporary art responds to globalization, examining its role as both object and agent of this process. Lee considers the ways that art actualizes, iterates, or enables globalization, offering close readings of works by artists who have come prominence in recent years. She analyzes the production of ethereal spaces in Andreas Gursky's images of contemporary markets and manufacture, and the logic of immanent cause dramatized in Thomas Hirschhorn's mixed-media displays. By exploring these examples and others, Lee sheds light on the current state of the art world and its relationship to globalization.
