An important resource for scholars of contemporary art and
architecture, this volume considers contemporary art that takes
architecture as its subject. Concentrated on works made since 1990,
Contemporary Art About Architecture: A Strange Utility is the first
to take up this topic in a sustained and explicit manner and the
first to advance the idea that contemporary art functions as a form
of architectural history, theory, and analysis. Over the course of
fourteen essays by both emerging and established scholars, this
volume examines a diverse group of artists in conjunction with the
vernacular, canonical, and fantastical structures engaged by their
work. Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Matthew Barney, Monika Sosnowska, Pipo
Nguyen-duy, and Paul Pfeiffer are among those considered, as are
the compelling questions of architecture's relationship to
photography, the evolving legacy of Mies van der Rohe, the notion
of an architectural unconscious, and the provocative concepts of
the unbuilt and the unbuildable. Through a rigorous investigation
of these issues, Contemporary Art About Architecture calls
attention to the fact that art is now a vital form of architectural
discourse. Indeed, this phenomenon is both pervasive and, in its
individual incarnations, compelling - a reason to think again about
the entangled histories of architecture and art.
