Description
The ways we encounter contemporary art and performance is changing.
Installations brim with archival documents. Dances stretch for weeks. Performances last a minute. Exhibitions are spread out over thirty venues. There are endless artworks about mid-century architecture and design.
How are we expected to engage with today's diverse practise?
Is the old model of close-looking still the ideal, or has it given way to browsing, skimming, and sampling?Across four essays, art historian and critic Claire Bishop identifies trends in contemporary practice - research-based installations, performance exhibitions, interventions, and invocations of modernistarchitecture - and their challenges to traditional modes of attention.
Charting a critical path through the lastthree decades, Bishop pinpoints how spectatorship and visual literacy are evolving under the pressures ofdigital technology.
