International Symposium on Modernity and Contemporaneity:
Pittsburgh,PA Nov.4-6,2004
In early November, the University of Pittsburgh will bring
together a group of the world’s leading scholars and art
theorists for a Nov.4-6 symposium entitled “Modernity and
Contemporaneity: Antinomies of Art and Culture After the 20th Century.”
The symposium, co-organized by Pitt’s Department of
History of Art and Architecture and the Graduate Program for
Cultural Studies, will be held in conjunction with the 54th
Carnegie International, considered North America’s leading survey
of new art work worldwide. The Carnegie International, organized
this year by curator Laura Hoptman, is known as a barometer of
contemporary artistic directions in the Americas, Europe, Asia,
and elsewhere. Just as “modernism” and “postmodernist” have been
used to describe previous periods and movements in the 20th
century, the time in which we now live is already articulating
its own descriptives. What are they?
Among the symposium participants are Fredric Jameson, Bruno
Latour, Antonio Negri, Rosalind Krauss, Susan Buck-Morss and
Boris Groys. The symposium will challenge the notions of “modern”
and “contemporary” as they relate to both the works in the
exhibition and to art and culture throughout the world.
Conveners: Terry Smith, Okwui Enwezor, Nancy Condee

That’s true of democracy too. I’d argue that the other 10 is making sure
you’re registered beforehand."
