May 2004, defended thesis at dept. of Art history, Uppsala University. The thesis (The Global Art World, Inc. On the globalization of contemporary art) analyses effects of globalisation in the contemporary art world system. Material is drawn from historical and contemporary art institutions, as well as the art biennales in Venice, Gwangju, Havana, Istanbul, and the roving European biennale Manifesta. The main argument is that if globalisation processes can be said to have changed the art world system since the 1980s, it is in terms of a capitalist labour market.
