Professor Sarah Wilson
The Courtauld University of London Vernon Square, London WC1X 9EW +44 7989 189 451 Courtauld academic staff webpage
Sarah Wilson is an art historian, curator and writer. Her global art
interests are informed by specialisms in postwar and Cold War Europe
extending to contemporary art across the former Soviet Union and Asia.
In 2015, she was co-curator and curator for the academic forum of the
1st Asian Biennale / Fifth Guangzhou Triennial, China. During the
academic year 2023-24 she became an Honorary Professor at University
College London, a member of the Comité Cezanne, served as a jury member
for the Auschwitz Foundation Prize and Grants committee, examined for
SEES (London University) and the University of Cambridge, and lectured
for Pushkin House and the Royal College of Art, London and the
Friedrich Schiller University, Jena. Sarah
Wilson’s global interests expanded firstly thanks to experiences
working for the Centre Georges Pompidou, with whose team she first
visited the USSR. Engagement continues after 2021 with Russian artists
in exile and our turn to Ukraine. Her curatorial experiences and the
‘Asia Time’ theme of the 1st Asian Biennale / Guangzhou Triennial,
2015, invoked richer East-West dialogues, and she supports the
Courtauld’s Dunghuang grotto initiatives. She celebrated the 40th
anniversary of philosopher Lyotard’s Postmodern condition in Hangzhou
in 2019, with her publication in Chinese and English. In 2021, she
celebrated ten years of the ‘Global Conceptualism’ MA devised with
Boris Groys. This links Anglo-American conceptual art, European
lineages stemming from Mallarmé, Duchamp and structural linguistics,
with conceptual art practices taken up beyond the ‘first’ world.
