Arrested Welcome: Hospitality in Contemporary Art

English

By (author): Irina Aristarkhova

Interpreting the meaning of hospitality in an unwelcoming political moment

 

Amid xenophobic challenges to Americas core value of welcoming the tired and the poor, Irina Aristarkhova calls for new forms of hospitality in her engagement with the works of eight international artists. In this first monograph on hospitality in contemporary art, Aristarkhova employs a feminist perspective to critically explore the artworks of Ana Prvaki, Faith Wilding, Lee Mingwei, Kathy High, Mithu Sen, Pippa Bacca, Silvia Moro, and Ken Aptekar and asks who, how, and what determines who is worthy of our welcome. 

Spanning a diverse range of contemporary art practices, Arrested Welcome shows how artists challenge our existing notions of hospitalityculturally, philosophically, and politically. From the role of microcourtesies in social change to the portrayal of waiting as a feminist endeavor, Aristarkhova looks deeply into topics such as gender stereotypes of welcome, ways to reclaim civility, and the means by which guests (sometimes human, sometimes animal) push the limits of our hosting traditions. 

Blending a feminist analysis of hospitality with in-depth case studies on how contemporary artists stimulate personal reflection and political engagement, Aristarkhova initiates these important conversations at a critical time of national and international hospitality crises.
