If, as Walter Benjamin claimed, "it is the function of artistic
form.to make historical content into a philosophical truth" then it
is the function of criticism to recover and to complete that truth.
Never has this been more necessary or more difficult than with
respect to contemporary art. Contemporary art is a point of
condensation of a vast array of social and historical forces,
economic and political forms and technologies of image production.
Contemporary art expresses this condition, Osborne maintains,
through its distinctively postconceptual form. These
essays-extending the scope and arguments of Osborne's Anywhere or
Not at All: Philosophy of Contemporary Art-move from philosophical
consideration of the changing temporal conditions of capitalist
modernity, via problems of formalism, the politics of art and the
changing shape of art institutions, to interpretation and analysis
of particular works by Akram Zataari, Xavier Le Roy and Ilya
Kabakov, and the postconceptual situation of a crisis-ridden New
Music.
