Migration into art addresses a topic of increasing importance to artists and scholars: migration as a transformative force that is remodelling artistic and art-institutional practices across the world. Exploring contemporary art's entanglement and critical engagement with migration and globalisation, it sheds light on how these processes are changing identities, cultures, institutions and geopolitics.The book focuses on three areas of interest. The first of these, identity and belonging, looks at how migration challenges both the identities of the people who migrate and those of the communities where migrants settle. The second, visibility and recognition, asks what impact increased mobility has on the art world and the careers and works of artists, and how discursive, structural and artistic changes pave the way for the idea of 'global art' and a growing recognition of artists with a migrant background. The third area of interest is the interrelation of aesthetics and politics, notably how these two fields may be balanced in artistic representations of migration, especially forced migration.Thematically and theoretically wide-ranging, Migration into art features a transnational selection of outstanding artists, including Rina Banerjee, Isaac Julien, Anish Kapoor, Bharti Kher and Danh Vo. It will serve as an excellent entry point for students and scholars alike into the study of an important aspect of the contemporary art world.
