This comprehensive volume delves into the multifaceted realm of contemporary art, exploring its diverse manifestations across regions. Unlike other similar works, it specifically focuses on non-Western interpretations of this dynamic artistic movement. The book's central thesis revolves around the historical contexts in which contemporary art emerged in various parts of Eastern Europe, the post-Soviet republics of the USSR, India, Latin America, and the Middle East. It argues that a comprehensive understanding of the global contemporary requires a close examination of the unique, local, and/or national manifestations of the contemporary condition.

The book is structured into two parts: Part I delves into methodological and theoretical considerations, while Part II presents a historical and documentary perspective. Within the latter section, a series of case studies are presented, offering in-depth insights into the emergence of contemporary art in Lebanon, Egypt, India, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Armenia, and Moldova. These case studies provide valuable perspectives on the diverse ways in which contemporary art has evolved and adapted to specific cultural and social contexts.

This book appeals to scholars and researchers engaged in art history, globalism, cultural studies, and postcolonial studies. Its multidisciplinary approach and comprehensive coverage make it an essential resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of contemporary art's global significance. By examining the intersections of culture, politics, and economics, this book sheds light on the complex and ever-evolving nature of this artistic phenomenon.
