Event overview
Eunsong Kim will be giving a talk informed by The Politics of Collecting: Race & the Aestheticization of Property (Duke University Press 2024). This book materializes the histories of immaterialism by examining the rise of US museums, avant-garde forms, digitization, and neoliberal aesthetics, to consider how race and property become foundational to modern artistic institutions.
