In art theory, as in cultural life generally, there has a long
been tension between theory and artistic practice. The desire to
resolve these tensions has been a principal impulse shaping
artistic work and criticism over the last century. The last decade
has seen the emergence of a broad, interdisciplinary body of
theoretical work with a distinctive relationship to artistic
practice, providing a common reference in artworks to the
principles and vocabularies of theory.
The sixteen essays in this collection were originally presented
at an international conference entitled Art as Theory / Theory and
Art, ' held at the University of Ottawa in late 1991. The
contributors - critics, curators, and practising artists from
Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia, look at the
current relationships between theory and practice in the fields of
art, communication, and cultural studies from a wide range of
viewpoints. Areas of interest include the institutionalization of
theory, theories of vision, gender theory and feminist positions,
and theory in a post-colonial context. This volume answers some
important new questions about the points of intersection between
theory and visual art.
