The Global Contemporary

History of Art Groups and clusters
The Global Contemporary
Based at the School of History of Art at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), the Global Contemporary Research Group examines the impact of globalisation on art, theory, and curating.

The Global Contemporary Research Group acts as a forum in which the diverse research of its membership is brought into conversation, and as a platform for a year-round programme of public events on the intersections of art and globalisation.
