Encounters Beyond the Gallery challenges the terms of their exclusion, looking to relational art, Deleuze-Guattarean aesthetics and notions of perception, as well as anthropological theory for ways to create connections between seemingly disparate worlds. Embracing a unique and experimental format, the book imagines encounters between the art works and art worlds of Rirkrit Tiravanija, Tamil women, the Shipibo-Conibo of Eastern Peru and a fictional female contemporary artist named Rikki T, in order to rethink normative aesthetic and cultural categories. Its method reflects the message of the book, and embraces a plurality of voices and perspectives to steer critical attention towards the complexity of artistic life beyond the gallery.

Renate Dohmen is Associate Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Open University. She was previously Associate Lecturer in Art History at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and taught at the World Arts and Artefacts Programme, British Museum & Birkbeck, University of London, as well as at Goldsmith's, University of London. Her research focuses on questions of the global and visual culture in contemporary and colonial contexts.
