Modernism(s)

The research group Modernism(s) is a broadly oriented research platform that delves into the expanded art-historical field of Modernism with transnational, global and cross-aesthetic ramifications. The unifying focus for the group is our interest in Modernism, and our scope is to challenge the canonical concepts with new perspectives and approaches. The group is unique in that it combines approaches from the field of practice, with theoretical perspectives. This gives us a unique opportunity to both study art as a historical, theoretical, and aesthetic phenomenon, as well as to examine the social and relational contexts of art. The combination of researchers from the university and from the museum field encourages several different methodological approaches.
