| Title: | Antinomies of Art and Culture: Modernity, Postmodernity, Contemporaneity |
| : | Terry SMITH, Okwui ENWEZOR, Nancy CONDEE |
| Description: | 'In this landmark collection, world-renowned theorists, artists, critics, and curators explore new ways of conceiving the present and understanding art and culture in relation to it. They revisit from fresh perspectives key issues regarding modernity and postmodernity, including the relationship between art and broader social and political currents, as well as important questions about temporality and change. They also reflect on whether or not broad categories and terms such as modernity, postmodernity, globalization, and decolonization are still relevant or useful. Including twenty essays and seventy-seven images, Antinomies of Art and Culture is a wide-ranging yet incisive inquiry into how to understand, describe, and represent what it is to live in the contemporary moment.' —from the back cover Includes bibliographical references and index. |
