Modernismes Enchevêtrés: Artistes, Mobilités et nouvelle historiographie de l’art à Paris April 28 and 29, 2025

This workshop connects research being done on artists from Asia, Africa and Latin America who worked and studied in Paris between 1945 and 1989. By identifying hinge figures, nodes of intersection, parallel and transversal lines of connection, this collaborative research proposes a new analytical model that enables researchers to visualize south-south connections in order to conceptualize metropoles not as points of origin or as global training grounds, but as spaces of intersections and flows that allow us to understand the transcultural condition of modern art. It will enable us to think about these exchanges by observing entanglements at three levels: political, pedagogical, and in the studio.

Partners: Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada with the Courtauld Institute of Art, École du Louvre, Beaux-Arts de Paris, Institut Giacometti, Institut national d’histoire de l’art, Université de Lorraine.
