Serie VII, Historia del Arte (ETFVII) is pleased to announce that the Call for Papers for the themed dossier for the upcoming issue (2021) is now open. “There is nothing particularly novel about the claim that contemporary art has been characterised, since the time of the avant-garde, by its tendency to go beyond the limits between artistic media, but that it has also —perhaps as an outcome of, among other factors, its experimental vocation— been led by desire to integrate, in a single and unique…
