Third Space: Shifting Conversations About Contemporary Art - Softcover
Third Space: Shifting Conversations About Contemporary Art explores connections and shared cultural experiences between the American South and the Global South. The title picks up Homi Bhabha’s term “third space,” a space that “challenges our sense of the historical identity of culture as a homogenizing, unifying force, authenticated by the originary Past, kept alive in the national tradition of the People.” This volume seeks to chart one of those third spaces. Connections are explored through a series of themes: migration, diaspora and exile; gaze, agency and representation; spirit, nature and landscape; and tradition, history and memory. Third Space features the work of more than 90 international artists, including Ebony G. Patterson, Thornton Dial, Kerry James Marshall and William Christenberry.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Curated by former Hugh Kaul Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Wassan Al-Khudhairi, the exhibition borrows Homi Bhaba s term third space, which he defines as a space that challenges our sense of the historical identity of culture as a homogenizing, unifying force, authenticated by the originary past, kept alive in the national tradition of the People. Beyond the geographical boundaries of the American South, the Global South similarly represents marginalized people and places that share a common post-colonial heritage, similar patterns of migration, and other cultural connections. With this in mind, the exhibition examines the Global South from the perspective of the American South by working through a series of ideas that include: migration/diaspora/exile, gaze/agency/representation, spirit/nature/landscape, and traditions/histories/memory. In addition to works from the permanent collection, the BMA has commissioned Rural Studio to produce a work of art that can serve as a gathering space within the gallery designed for reflection and contemplation. Rural Studio, founded and headquartered in nearby Hale County, Alabama, is an off-campus, design-build program of Auburn University that provides architectural solutions to underserved populations across the country. In the past year, Rural Studio has participated in several prestigious exhibitions, including the Milan Triennale, and they were selected as the only representative from the United States to present at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Once the exhibition closes, the structure that Rural Studio completes for Third Space will be repurposed for the construction of a house for one of its projects.
