Claire Bishop

Claire Bishop What has been loosely termed installation Art dominates the exhibition programmes of galleries worldwide. However, while it is much discussed it has rarely been clearly defined. In this book author Claire Bishop provides both a history and a full critical examination of installation art, in a survey of the form that is both thorough and accessible. Installation Art will provide, for the first time, a clear account of the rise of this now prevalent strand of contemporary art. While revising and, in some cases, re-assessing many well-known names in post-1960 art, it will also introduce the audience to a wider spectrum of younger artists yet to receive serious critical attention.

How technology and the attention economy has impacted contemporary art

Los cambios tecnológicos de los últimos años han transformado la atención en un verdadero campo de batalla. Desde diversas plataformas digitales, una sobrecarga de información compite por captar nuestra mirada por instantes cada vez mas breves, minando de manera drastica nuestra capacidad de concentracion. La influyente historiadora y critica de arte contemporaneo Claire Bishop analiza esta condicion prescindiendo de toda actitud melancolica. En lugar de lamentar las dificultades para la contemplacion sostenida como una batalla perdida, se pregunta de que manera las mutaciones recientes en el campo de la comunicacion digital han cambiado tambien nuestra manera de ver arte y que nuevas practicas artisticas han emergido como resultado.
