Description
Criticism of contemporary art is split by an opposition between activism and the critical function of form. Yet the deeper, more subterranean terms of art judgment are largely neglected on both sides.
These essays combine a re-examination of the terms of judgement of contemporary art with critical interpretations of individual works and exhibitions by Luis Camnitzer, Marcel Duchamp, Matias Faldbakken, Anne Imhof, and Cady Noland.
Crisis as Form moves from philosophical issues, via the lingering shadows of medium-specificity (in photography and art music), and the changing states of museums, to analyses of the peculiar ways that works of art relate to time.
To give artistic form to crisis, it is suggested, one needs to understand contemporary art’s own constitutive crisis of form.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Crisis as Form has garnered acclaim for its sweeping philosophical insight into contemporary art. John Rapko of Notre Dame's Philosophical Reviews calls it "an important achievement" for its holistic philosophical engagement. Blake Stimson praises it as "a brilliant book," while Lisa Trhair highlights Osborne's skill in connecting geopolitical shifts to art practices, making it vital reading for philosophers, art historians, critics, and new media theorists. James Lavender lauds it as "an inestimably significant intervention" in debates on the history, theory, and philosophy of contemporary art.
