The Cute tracks the astonishing impact of a single aesthetic
category on post-war and contemporary art, and on the vast range of
cultural practices and discourses on which artists draw. From
robots and cat videos to ice cream socials, The Cute explores the
ramifications of an aesthetic 'of' or 'about' minorness - or what
is perceived to be diminutive, subordinate, and above all,
unthreatening - on the shifting forms and contents of art today.
This anthology is the first of its kind to show how contemporary
artists have worked on and transformed the cute, and in ways that
not only complexify its meaning, but reshape their own artistic
practices. Artists surveyed include Peggy Ahwesh, Cosima Von Bonin,
Nayland Blake, Paul Chan, Adrian Howells, Juliana Huxtable, Larry
Johnson, Mike Kelley, Dean Kenning, Wyndham Lewis, Jeff Koons,
Sean-Kierre Lyons, Mammalian Diving Reflex, Alake Shilling, Annette
