The reception granted to these artists, in particular in France, was severed from the reception of the theoretical resources which reframed art from an African perspective. This article introduces a wider project of translation of historiographic discourses and African views on art, documenting the emergence, in the 1990s, of a \u201cNew African discourse\u201d on art, carried by a generation of curators, historians and theorists who chose to reevaluate the various trends of modern African art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Peffer<\/strong>, <em>Africa\u2019s Diasporas of Images<\/em><br \/>\nThis essay addresses the concept of a history for African art objects by thinking them across space and time as vehicles for &#8220;diasporas&#8221; of images. John Peffer proposes a consideration of African art from the perspective of diaspora, as objects in motion, and as objects that articulate between and across disparate cultural histories and the cultural zones of others. In the process, John Peffer attempts to bridge the continuum spanning arts otherwise categorized as &#8220;traditional&#8221; or &#8220;contemporary&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chika Okeke Agulu,<\/strong> <em>The Art Society and the Making of Postcolonial Modernism in Nigeria<\/em><br \/>\nThis essay focuses on the work of the Art Society \u2013 a group formed by art students at the Nigerian College of Art, Science, and Technology, Zaria (1957-61) \u2013 and suggests that the work of its key members in the 1960s was the first significant manifestation of postcolonial modernism in Nigeria. Postcolonial modernism, the essay argues, refers to a set of formal and critical attitudes adopted by African and black artists at the dawn of political independence as a countermeasure against the threat of loss of self in the maelstrom unleashed by Western cultural imperialism and its aftermath. In defining their relationship with European and African artistic heritages, the Art Society and other postcolonial artists emphasized the importance of local and indigenous artistic resources in the making of their decidedly modernist work. The essay details the convening of the postcolonial literary and artistic avant-garde at the Mbari Artists and Writers Club, Ibadan, Nigeria, in the early 1960s and claims that their modernism was directly linked to the practice and rhetoric of political and cultural decolonization and sovereignty. Further, the essay argues that in recognizing and advocating the equal validity of the plastic and conceptual potential of indigenous African, non-Western, and European artistic traditions in the construction of the modern, the Art Society and its contemporaries testified to modernism\u2019s transnational and multicultural foundations. It suggests that the exploration of the historical implications of the encounter with multiple, sometimes contradictory logics o<br \/>\nf politics, art, and culture involves what the author describes as compound consciousness \u2013 the willful incorporation and critical resolution of the alienation and fragmented subjectivity produced by the colonial experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sandy Prita Meier<\/strong>, <em>Authenticity and Its Discontents : Making Modernist Art Histories &#8220;African&#8221; and &#8220;Middle Eastern&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nIn her article, Sandy Prita Meier establishes some of the central theoretical concerns that frame this issue, particularly noting the overlaps and divergences that have shaped &#8220;African&#8221; and &#8220;Middle Eastern&#8221; modernisms within the discipline of art history. She rereads the multiple ways in which, curators, critics, and scholars have contended with questions surrounding the &#8220;modern&#8221; over the last two decades. Meier highlights the &#8220;multiple modernities&#8221; model as a strategic position for both excising the continued anxiety about &#8220;authenticity&#8221; and moving beyond the &#8220;particularism and universalism&#8221; to which art historical inquiry is all too closely wedded to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nana Adusei-Poku<\/strong>,<em> &#8220;rooted in, but not restricted by&#8221; \u2013 Contemporary Black Artists and the Changing Conditions of Representation<\/em><br \/>\nBlackness was and is still en vogue in the beginning of the 21st century, not only in popular culture but also in the arts, which synchronically reproduces classical stereotypes about the Black body and challenges Black artists and scholars not to fall into already established counter-discourses but rather expand the repertoires of representations. This article thus aims to explore the difficulties and intricacies of the idea of post-black art and its curatorial legacy, which was introduced as a curatorial concept in 2001. Additionally, it examines the option of opening up the debate into a wider discourse of identity politics, their various meanings, limitations and promises for the contemporary. The article is framed by a series of questions that are fundamental to understanding the complexity of the idea of post-black. Nana Adusei-Poku foregrounds the discussion with the general considerations &#8220;What is post-black art ?&#8221; and &#8220;What is meant by \u2018black\u2019 in post-black art ?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Malick Ndiaye<\/strong>, <em>L\u2019image th\u00e9orique ou l\u2019artiste face \u00e0 l\u2019Histoire.<\/em><br \/>\nThis paper attempts to demonstrate the theoretical nature of artwork from Jane Alexander\u2019s Butcher boys. The formal indeterminacy of this artwork is related to the ambivalence as mentioned by Homi Bhabha about deconstructionist theory. The author underlines the influence of poststructuralist theory on postcolonial discourse and considers the hypothesis that the problem of ambivalence and the critic of temporality are the main ideas that get Butcher boys in the center of postcolonial deconstructionism. From this point of view, the artwork is analyzed in relation to Time, Memory and History in view of South Africa\u2019s historical events. The author demonstrates what he names the corporeity of memory as the support of making history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Olu Oguibe<\/strong>, <em>Art Criticism and Africa. Thoughts toward a New Century<\/em><br \/>\n&#8220;At the time, I had taken what many saw as a hardline, uncompromising position in arguing that the business of the state of art criticism in Africa should be left with the Africans. It was my opinion, too, that this business is one that ideally should be conducted in Africa. The very idea of discussing art criticism and Africa in London or New York did not seem particularly appropriate to me then. Neither does it now. It is, I believe, a reflection of the sad state of that continent and its leaders that five years on it has fallen on us again to speak about art criticism and Africa outside the continent.&#8221; Olu Oguibe.

The two artists considered here are Sydney Kumalo and Lucky Sibiya, both of whom enjoyed some degree of commercial success within South Africa and abroad and both of whom died relatively young. They have been neglected as contributors to the history of modernism in South African art since 1994. The article addressed the contexts in which they were working to propose that the reasons for this neglect lay in the difficulties experience by black artists who espoused forms of modernism that arose out of primitivist readings of the art of Africa.<\/p>\n<p><em>Educational Turn in Curating &#8211; Interview with <strong>Koyo Kouoh<\/strong> (by Aliocha Imhoff and Kantuta Quir\u00f3s)<\/em><br \/>\nThis interview looks at the increasing development of educational programmes in curatorial and exhibition practices in Africa. By addressing a new wave of curatorial practices, this interview asserts that curating increasingly operates as an expanded educational praxis. In Africa, this is evident in the increase of curatorial workshops, immaterial and research-based artistic projects, participative and collaborative museology and the emergence of curatorial courses across a range of disciplines. This interview with Koyo Kouh, founder of the Raw Material Company, center for art, knowledge and society in Dakar contributes a critical reflection in this on going curatorial discourse through its public forums.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Biolines<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong>Nana Adusei-Poku <\/strong>is Applied Research Professor in Cultural Diversity at Rotterdam University and Lecturer in Media Arts at the University of the Arts, Zurich.
