Globalisation Task

Globalisation Research Task

(1)                     Research the practice of one of these artists, focusing upon how they deal with issues of globalisation. Andreas Gusrksy, Gabriel Orozco, Simon Starling, Allan Sekula, Yto Bararda , or Ursula Biemann. Consider: (1) How issues of gloalisatiion enter and structure their working practices; (2) What area of globalisation they focus upon material processes, spatial production, or human movements?; (3) Where do they go to make their work?; (4) How do they interact with their environment to create their work?; (5) Where do they present their work?

(2)                     Read the extract on Documenta 11. Write a review of the exhibition focusing upon how the curator Okuwi Enwezor addresses issues of globalisation.

(3)                     Create a series of photographs emphasising the global in the local. Choose a particular place and take photographs looking at how it is constructed from parts that come from elsewhere. What of it can be said to be born of the place itself and what elements have been brought in from elsewhere.
