A thrilling book … despite it focuses on contemporary art, it is potential to expand the field of research upon some experiment performance/theatre as well.
Contemporary Art: From Studio to Situation
This book, edited by Claire Doherty and published by Black Dog Publishing, describes the shift in focus that has taken place in much contemporary art practice in the last decade. From the notion of relational aesthetics to the concerns of site-specificity, this book provides a new critical investigation into the production and curation of contemporary art. Including reprints of seminal texts alongside new essays, interviews and case studies by leading international artists, writers and curators, this anthology provides an overview of this increasingly significant (and contested) field of art practice.Contributors include: Kathrin Böhm, Nicolas Bourriaud, Daniel Buren, Nathan Coley, Adam Dant, Catherine David, Jeremy Deller, Rod Dickinson, Claire Doherty, Paul Domela, Jimmie Durham, FURTHER Up in the Air, Charlie Gere, Thomas Hirschhorn, Miwon Kwon, Maria Lind, James Lingwood, Cuauhtémoc Medina, Mejor Vida Corp., Aleksandra Mir, Oda Projesi, Irit Rogoff, Becky Shaw and Richard Wentworth.
Claire Doherty, Senior Research Fellow in Fine Art, University of the West of England, Bristol, and leader of Situations, (www.situations.org.uk), whose talk, “Curating Wrong Places or Where Have All the Penguins Gone?” looked at the predominance of place in contemporary art curating and commissioning.
‘Curating Wrong Places’ was hosted by the MA Twentieth Century Art & Design Course.
