In Images of War in Contemporary Art, Uros Cvoro and Kit
Messham-Muir mount a challenge to the dominance of theoretical
tropes of trauma, affect, and emotion that have determined how we
think of images of war and terror for the last 20 years. Through
analyses of visual culture from contemporary "war art" to the meme
wars, they argue that the art that most effectively challenges the
ethics and aesthetics of war and terror today is that which
disrupts this flow-art that makes alternative perceptions of
wartime both visible and possible. As a theoretical work, Images of
War in Contemporary Art is richly supported by visual and textual
evidence and firmly embedded in current artistic practice.
Significantly, though, the book breaks with both traditional and
current ways of thinking about war art-offering a radical
rethinking of the politics and aesthetics of art today through
analyses of a diverse scope of contemporary art that includes Ben
Quilty, Abdul Abdullah (Australia), Mladen Miljanovic, Nebojsa
Seric Soba (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Hiwa K, Wafaa Bilal (Iraq),
Teresa Margolles (Mexico), and Arthur Jafa (United States).
