Summary: "The contemporary art world has expanded exponentially over the last two decades, generating uncertainty as to what matters and why. Contemporary Art: 1989 to the Present offers an unparalleled resource for students, artists, scholars, and art enthusiasts. It is the first collection of its kind to bring together fresh perspectives from leading international art historians, critics, curators, and artists for a far-ranging dialogue about contemporary art. The book is divided into fourteen thematic clusters: The Contemporary and Globalization; Art after Modernism and Postmodernism; Formalism ; Medium Specificity; Art and Technology; Biennials; Participation; Activism; Agency; The Rise of Fundamentalism; Judgement; Markets; Art Schools and the Academy; and Scholarship. Every section presents three essays, each of which puts forward a distinct viewpoint that can be read independently or considered in tandem. With up-to-date research concerns, as well as more enduring topics, this text will provoke lively discussion regarding contemporary art, its study, and its historiography. Contemporary Art: 1989 to the Present provides a much-needed examination of the contemporary situation, and an encapsulation of a complex intellectual zeitgeist." -- Back cover.
