Modern Art Culture: A Reader provides an essential resource for
understanding the culture of modern art since the 1960s. In recent
years, media theorists and historians have asked whether works of
imaginative art can have any impact in our image-saturated culture.
Given the power of institutions, how do radical artists produce
effective cultural interventions? In the aftermath of September
11th, 2001, many argue that pressing questions about works of art
and their meanings are inseparable not only from contemporary
social and political issues but also from major debates and
developments in the last four decades. To explore such questions
and issues, the Reader is divided into six related parts with
articles from journals, magazines and exhibition catalogues that
exemplify important interventions from the 1960s onwards:
Histories, Representations and Remembrance; Art and
Visual/Mass/Popular Culture; Institutions; Inclusions/Exclusions;
Bodies and Identities; Power and Permissibility. Texts range from
artists' engagement with the veil and veiling as metaphors for
post-colonialist understandings of representation and contemporary
art to early debates about, for example, 'activist art', discourses
of the 'body', civil rights, ethnicity, and cultural power.
Importantly these selected texts offer examples of analysis that
can enable readers to examine, critically, their own selection of
representations produced in a variety of contexts.
