Building on such established anthropological approaches to art as those of Alfred Gell or Pierre Bourdieu, the Anthropologies of Art Network [A/A] seeks to extend the canon by curating new encounters on fields and discourses, including but not limited to international art biennales, post-Fordist artistic labour, global art markets, contemporary art patronage, and artivism. [A/A] facilitates international collaborations and aims to engage recent theories of art such as relational aesthetics, ethnographic conceptualism, and creative microtopias.

Its three constitutive elements are: 
NETWORK - browse profiles for research interests and contact details.
RESEARCH - research output form workshops and publications on the relation between anthropology & art.
NEWS - upcoming CfPs, book launches, funding calls, conferences, exhibitions
