In this volume of selected essays, interviews, curatorial texts and
reviews, spanning 1986-2012, Joshua Decter examines contemporary
art in relation to its various ideological, public, discursive, and
social contexts. The book encompasses seven chapters:
"Institutional Critique and its Discontents"; "Aporia (art as
politics, the politics of art)"; "Everything is Social";
"Convoluted Cities"; "The (Un)De-definition of Art"; "What Do We
Want from Exhibitions?"; and "On the Curatorial Road." The author
unpacks art's paradoxical condition: art problematizes, and is
intrinsically a problem. From this standpoint, he analyzes art's
definitions, functions, ethical entanglements, societal aspirations
and cultural contradictions.
