Ina Blom

My fields of research are modernism/avant-garde studies and contemporary art with a particular focus on media aesthetics and the relationship between art, technology, media and politics.I have taken part in the NFR-supported projects Aesthetics at Work (2003-2007) and Media Aesthetics (2004-2008) and have directed the NFR supported research project The Archive in Motion (2011-2014) in collaboration with media- and film scholars. I am a member of the international editorial boards of Art History. Journals of the Association of Art Historians (Wiley) and Konsthistorisk Tidsskrift (Routledge), and a contributor to Artforum, Afterall, Parkett, and Texte zur Kunst.I have previously worked as a music critic and also done a number of curatorial projects. I am also visiting professor at the Department of Art History, University of Chicago.
