Another groundbreaking and important survey later this year is underscoring the Walker Art Center ‘International Pop’ exhibition by Darsie Alexander and Bartholomew Ryan and its new aproach: ‘The World Goes Pop’ at the Tate Modern, 17 September 2015–24 January 2016, with more details on the Tate Modern artist-info ‘The World Goes Pop’ exhibition page.
Pop is among the most broadly recognized phenomena of postwar art, primarily identified with Britain and the U.S. In truth, however, the Pop impulse was strikingly nomadic, contagiously spreading not only through Britain and the U.S. but also Japan, Latin America, and
both Eastern and Western Europe. From its inception, Pop migrated across borders and media, seizing the power of mass media and communication to reach a new class of viewers and adherents who would be drawn to its dynamic attributes. Yet, as this exhibition will reveal, distinct iterations of Pop were developing worldwide that alternatively celebrated, cannibalized, rejected, or transformed some of the presumed qualities of Pop in the U.S. and Britain.
Curated by Darsie Alexander (now Katonah Museum) with Bartholomew Ryan (now The Andy Warhol Museum) for the Walker Art Center in consultation with an international group of scholars and curators, International Pop asserts that Pop was not a singular artistic style or brand, but a roving spirit and ethos moving with unprecedented force through culture at large in the 1960s through a new abundance of everyday commodities, mass media production, and mainstream advertising.
A key ambition of the exhibition is to show artists in the specific contexts from which they emerged, as well as to create relations between works across time and place. The exhibition is therefore organized into contextual sections—specific places or institutions—and broader thematic sections:
THEMATIC SECTIONS
New Realisms – The Image Travels & the Archive Shifts – Distribution & Domesticity – Pop & Politics – Love & Despair
CONTEXTUAL SECTIONS
Britain: The Independent Group & the New Scene
Germany: Capitalist Realism
Brazil: The New Consciousness
Argentina: The Instituto Torcuato Di Tella & Pop Lunfardo
