Charged Circuits: Questioning International Exhibition Practices
Graduate Symposium
Concordia University, Montreal, Canada
March 14-15, 2008
Deadline for paper proposals extended to: January 25, 2008
Graduate students from all disciplines, including art history, visual arts,
curatorial and museum studies, communications, film studies, cultural

What part does nationalism play within transnational exhibitions? And in
what way have international exhibitions affected how art history is written
today?
