A multipolar Art World? with Joshua Citarella
Sign up for tomorrow's live conversation with the filmmaker and AI artist Bennett Miller, a trailblazer at the intersection of art and technology.
This Friday, January 13 at 2pm EST, join Rhizome Executive Director Michael Connor, artist and internet culture writer Joshua Citarella, and Artwrld Founder and CEO Josh Goldblum for episode 2 of season 3 of the Artwrld Podcast, a free, live online conversation.
“We seem to be at the end of globalization. With seismic political shifts, a certain era of contemporary art has also come to a close.”
– Joshua Citarella, A Multipolar Art World?
Over the past decade, Joshua Citarella's work has been deeply embedded in the study of online communities and radicalization; from his early explorations of Politigram & the Post-Left, done partly in collaboration with Rhizome, to his founding of art/editorial platform Do Not Research, to his ongoing YouTube series Doomscroll.
For this episode, Citarella will give a presentation on his recent text A Multipolar Art World?, in which he argues that the era of globalization underpinning contemporary art as we know it is ending, giving way to a location-specific, multipolar art world.
