Arte flotante
Mobilität und Mobilisierung in der Kunst Argentiniens der Nachkriegszeit
Kunstgeschichten der Gegenwart, Vol. 17
In 1956, the first floating exhibition of Argentinian art toured the world. This traveling exhibition aboard a ship also marked the first activity of the newly founded Museum of ModernArt in Buenos Aires. Laura Bohnenblust’s publication sheds light on Argentina’s presence in the global art world of the postwar period and examines the factors that enabled the realization of this mobile exhibition format. Drawing on previously unpublished archival material, the book reveals that the ocean was chosen as an exhibition venue by actors who have rarely entered the canon of modern art history. Arte flotante thus expands the Eurocentric perspective of the discipline and contributes to a global art and exhibition history.
