Timed out is a pioneering study of modern and contemporary art in the aftermath of empire. It addresses the current ‘global turn’ in the study of art by way of the transnational Caribbean, offering an in-depth account of its integral role in histories of art in the Atlantic world. The book looks at why art of the Anglophone Caribbean and its diaspora has been placed not only ‘outside’ but ‘behind’ more familiar and dominant art canons, and how the politics of space and time can be engaged in new ways to rethink the global geography of art.

Sean ScullyThis event relates to the exhibition of works by Sean Scully running from 2nd March 2012 to 13th July 2012 with the title of 'Sean Scully: Change and Horizontals'. The drawings and paintings in this exhibition are characterised by geometric abstraction. They are also strongly rooted in notions of place, environment and architectural forms and raise questions about the extent to which works of art can embed processes of change.

In this lecture Dr Anderson, lecturer and journalist, describes the development of collage from the early twentieth century to the present day. The different functions of collage (formal experimentation, satire, nostalgia, political statement) and its many forms, both two- and three-dimensional- are explored. This artform is seen to derive much of its power from the way in which it decontextualises and reprocesses objects to give them new meaning.
