Meet the Authors of ‘A Gust of Photo-Philia’ and ‘Arrival Cities’
(Leuven University Press)

Friday 16 April 2021, 17.45 - 18.05

In 'A Gust of Photo-Philia' Alexandra Moschovi tells the story of photography’s accommodation in and as contemporary art in the art museum. Moschovi argues that this accommodation not only changed photography’s status in art, culture, and society, but also played a significant role in the rebranding of the art museum.

By Alexandra Moschovi

Exile and migration played a critical role in the diffusion and development of modernism around the globe, yet have remained largely understudied phenomena within art historiography. Questioning the established canon of Western modernism, 'Arrival Cities' investigates how the migration of artists to different urban spaces impacted their work and the historiography of art.
