Paloma Checa-Gismero talks about the many processes of re-evaluation, re-contextualization, and re-animation that designates an object as art. To illustrate this point, she calls our attention to the work of artists like Mierle Laderman Ukeles in the 1970s, or the 1989 exhibition titled Magiciens de la terre at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. She develops the concept of aesthetic conversions in her new book about the histories and geographies of art biennials, which, in the post cold war world, converted subaltern aesthetic genealogies into forms that were legible to a nascent cosmopolitan global elite. Paloma Checa-Gismero is a historian of global contemporary art. She is Assistant Professor of Art History at Swarthmore College. Originally trained as an artist, she has been an active art critic since 2009. Her scholarship and criticism have been published in Afterall, FIELD, Third Text, The Journal of Modern Craft, among others. She is the author of Biennial Boom: Making Contemporary Art Global (Duke University Press, 2024). Image: © 2023 Saronik Bosu.
