"TV Museum" takes as its subject the complex and shifting
relationship between television and contemporary art. Informed by
theories and histories of art and media since the 1950s, this book
charts the changing status of television as cultural form, object
of critique, and site of artistic invention. Through close readings
of artworks, exhibitions, and institutional practices in diverse
cultural and political contexts, Connolly demonstrates television's
continued importance for contemporary artists and curators seeking
to question the formation and future of the public sphere. Paying
particular attention to developments since the early 2000s, "TV
Museum" includes chapters on exhibiting television as object;
soaps, sitcoms, and symbolic value in art and television; reality
TV and the social turn in art; TV archives, memory, and media
events; broadcasting and the public realm; TV talk shows and
curatorial practice; art workers and TV production cultures.
Lavishly illustrated and with in-depth discussion of over fifty
canonical and contemporary artworks, "TV Museum" offers a new
approach to the analysis of television's place within contemporary
art and culture.
