This is the first anthology to chronicle the global critical
reception of Aboriginal art since the early 1980s, when the art
world began to understand it as contemporary art. Featuring 96
authors--including art critics and historians, curators, art center
co-ordinators and managers, artists, anthropologists, sociologists,
philosophers and novelists--it conveys a diversity of thinking and
approaches. Together with editor Ian McLean's substantial
introductory essay and epilogue, the anthology argues for a
reevaluation of Aboriginal art's critical intervention into
contemporary art since its seduction of the art world a
quarter-century ago.
Ian McLean is a well-known commentator on Aboriginal and
non-Aboriginal Australian art and the intersection of Indigenous
and settler cultures. He is the author of "The Art of Gordon
Bennett" and "White Aborigines: Identity Politics in Australian
Art." He is a member of the Advisory Council of Third Text and
professor of Australian art history at the University of
Wollongong.
"How Aborigines Invented the Idea of Contemporary Art: Writings
on Aboriginal Contemporary Art" is part of the four-book series
Australian Studies in Art and Art Theory and is published with the
assistance of the Getty Foundation and the Nelson Meers
Foundation.
