While recent studies in neuroscience and psychology have shed light
on our sensory and perceptual experiences of art, they have yet to
explain how contemporary art downplays perceptual responses and,
instead, encourages conceptual thought. The Psychology of
Contemporary Art brings together the most important developments in
recent scientific research on visual perception and cognition and
applies the results of empirical experiments to analyses of
contemporary artworks not normally addressed by psychological
studies. The author explains, in simple terms, how neuroaesthetics,
embodiment, metaphor, conceptual blending, situated cognition and
extended mind offer fresh perspectives on specific contemporary
artworks - including those of Marina Abramovic, Francis Alys,
Martin Creed, Tracey Emin, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Marcus Harvey,
Mona Hatoum, Thomas Hirschorn, Gabriel Orozco, Marc Quinn and Cindy
Sherman. This book will appeal to psychologists, cognitive
scientists, artists and art historians, as well as those interested
in a deeper understanding of contemporary art.
