In or out -- Distribution : subjects of solidarity -- Arts schools : education and discourse -- Nsukka school : natural synthesis -- Grupo dos cinco : expropriating the self -- Bombay progressive artists' group & lahore art circle : unity in diversity -- Madrasat al-khartoum/Al-Kristaliyyun : What's in the name? -- Grupa "A.R" : The collective as collector -- Artistas del pueblo & Martin Fierro : Group identity as antagonism -- Casa blanca school : On the stage of history -- Kokuga sosaku kyokai, Kokuyokai, Action, Mavo, Sanka : Japanese Artists' groups of the Taisho-Period.
Summary: The catalogue "Group Dynamics : Collectives of the Modernist Period" sets out from the observation that the art-historical scholarship on the specific ways in which artists' groups have shaped the evolution of art remains fragmentary and often narrowly focused on the West. Instead of staging a contest of rivaling aesthetic tendencies, the show sheds light on the development of collectives and the historical circumstances in which they emerged, reconstructing their political agendas and visions both practicable and, in some instances, utopian. The ubiquity of similar historical structures and communal strategies in different settings underscores the crucial role that collectives have played in introducing and disseminating central ideas and innovations within and beyond modernist art.
