Modernism Relocated by John C. Welchman Pdf
Illustrated collection of interrelated essays which re-examine the history and theory of visual cultures in the 20th century. Addressing European Dada and Surrealism, US Conceptual Art and post-modern photographs, Australian performance and Aboriginal representation, the author argues for a new understanding of the relationships between visuality and textuality, 'central' and minority practices, modernism and post-modernism. Includes an index. The author is currently a visiting professor in the department of visual and environmental studies at Harvard University. He is co-author of 'The Dada and Surrealist Word-Image' and editor of 'Rethinking Borders' (forthcoming).
