Through specific case studies of artists who strategically work with historical moments, this book examines how art from the last two decades has sought to mobilize these particular histories, and to what effect, against the backdrop of Modernism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the art theory of Rosalind Krauss and the philosophies of Paul Ricoeur, Gerhard Richter, and Pierre Nora, \u003ci\u003eRetroactivity and Contemporary Art\u003c\/i\u003e interprets those works that foreground some aspect of retroactivity – whether re-enacting, commemorating, or re-imagining – as key artistic strategies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is striking philosophical reflection on time within art and art within time, and an indispensable read for those attempting to understand the artistic significance of history, materiality, and memory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226293260632,"sku":"9781350136762","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350136762.jpg?v=1744183854","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/retroactivity-and-contemporary-art","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
