Since the 1990s, artists and art writers around the world have
increasingly undermined the essentialism associated with notions of
"critical practice." We can see this manifesting in the renewed
relevance of what were previously considered "outsider" art
practices, the emphasis on first-person accounts of identity over
critical theory, and the proliferation of exhibitions that refuse
to distinguish between art and the productions of culture more
generally. How Folklore Shaped Modern Art: A Post-Critical History
of Aesthetics underscores how the cultural traditions, belief
systems and performed exchanges that were once integral to the
folklore discipline are now central to contemporary art's
"post-critical turn." This shift is considered here as less a
direct confrontation of critical procedures than a symptom of art's
inclusive ideals, overturning the historical separation of fine art
from those "uncritical" forms located in material and commercial
culture. In a global context, aesthetics is now just one of
numerous traditions informing our encounters with visual culture
today, symptomatic of the pull towards an impossibly pluralistic
image of art that reflects the irreducible conditions of identity.
