Research subject Modern and contemporary art
A central theme for researchers at the art history department is modern and contemporary art in transnational, cultural-political, network- and gender-related perspectives.
Our research ranges from 19th century Swedish traveling artists, the historiography of modernism, regional and international aspects of surrealism to the interactive networks and collaborations of Fluxus, decolonial perspectives on Sami-art, contemporary feminist performance- and installation art as well as art and the anthropocene.
