Infrastructures of Art Producing, Transporting, and Logistics from a Transnational Perspective

Adopting a transnational perspective, this book takes a look at the art history of production, transport and logistics with its heterogenous actors, objects, institutions, and their interwoven stories. The production of art goes along with complex infrastructures that are often unseen and associated with political and ecological challenges. To what extent is mobility already taken into account in the production of art? What role do customs regulations, political border restrictions, and sustainability play? This publication focuses on contexts, networks, material flows and the conditions of production and distribution within the arts of the 20th and 21st century.
