Description

Explore the evolution of art theory and practice with Performing the Body/Performing the Text from Routledge. This book examines how new performativity shapes visual culture and rethinking interpretive processes. Since the 1960s, visual art practices ranging from body art to minimalism have moved contemporary art beyond the traditional confines of museums and galleries. By embracing theatricality and performance, these practices break the boundaries established by traditional art criticism. This collection of contributors argues that interpretation must be viewed as a dynamic and contingent process. The text offers its own performance script while engaging with both canonical fine artists like Manet and De Kooning, providing a fresh perspective on how we engage with art in a modern context.
