This critical anthology explores the myriad histories and worlds through which art is produced and experienced. It is guided by the following questions: How are the “global” and the “located” shaped and understood in disparate contexts and times? How have artists experimented with modes of exhibition-making and public presentation?

Key essays previously published by Afterall are included alongside new image-led presentations, translated material and commissioned texts. The anthology addresses the topic in both theoretical terms and through case studies.

Introduction by Charles Esche, David Morris, and Lucy Steeds
