Dogramaci, Burcu und Ströbele, Ursula (Hrsg.). (2026): Infrastructures of Art Producing, Transporting, and Logistics from a Transnational Perspective. De Gruyter, Berlin. ISBN 978-3-68924-055-4

Abstract

Adopting a transnational perspective, this book examines art producing and transporting, along with the heterogeneous actors, objects, institutions, and their interwoven stories. The production of art is intertwined with complex infrastructures that are often unseen and associated with political and ecological
challenges. This volume focuses on the contexts, networks,
and material flows that shape the conditions of production and distribution in the arts of the 20th and 21st centuries. The essays, articles, and artistic contributions explore the extent to which mobility is already considered in art production, as well as the role of customs regulations, political border restrictions, and sustainability. The publication contributes to the growing
field of infrastructural studies in art history from a transnational and transcultural perspective. By mapping the technical, political, and economic conditions of the cultural field, the volume opens new research avenues towards an art history of production, transport, and logistics.
