Abstract

Even a decade after his death, Clement Greenberg remains controversial. One of the most influential art writers of the twentieth century, Greenberg propelled Abstract Expressionist painting-in particular the monumental work of Jackson Pollock-to a leading position in an international postwar art world. On radio and in print, Greenberg was the voice of "the new American painting," and a central figure in the postwar cultural history of the United States. Caroline Jones's magisterial study widens Greenberg's fundamental tenet of "opticality"-the idea that modernist art is apprehended through "eyesight alone"-to a broader arena, examining how the critic's emphasis on the specular resonated with a society increasingly invested in positivist approaches to the world. Greenberg's modernist discourse, Jones argues, developed in relation to the rationalized procedures that gained wide currency in the United States at midcentury, in fields ranging from the sense-data protocols theorized by scientific philosophy to the development of cultural forms, such as hi-fi, that targeted specific senses, one by one. Greenberg's attempt to isolate and celebrate the visual was one manifestation of a large-scale segmentation-or bureaucratization-of the body's senses. Working through these historical developments, Jones brings Greenberg's theories into contemporary philosophical debates about agency and subjectivity. 'Eyesight Alone' offers artists, art historians, philosophers, and all those interested in the arts a critical history of this generative figure, bringing his work fully into dialogue with the ideas that shape contemporary critical discourse and shedding light not only on Clement Greenberg but also on the contested history of modernism itself.

Abstract

Taking a fresh look at the art world of the 1960s, Caroline Jones explores the pervasive imagery of the American artist at work and the implications of those images for understanding their art. The radical break of artists with Abstract Expressionism at the end of the 1950s demonstrates the traditional modernist view of the solitary, suffering artist did not seduce those who came of age in the burgeoning American economy of the 1960s. Jones argues that far from the countercultural stance associated with the decade, the artists examined here - including Stella, Warhol, and Smithson - identified their work with postwar industry and corporate culture and revealed the anxieties of this identification through the slippages and darker implications of their work. Drawing on extensive interviews with artists and their assistants as well as close readings of artworks, Jones explains that much of the major work of the 1960s was compelling precisely because it was "mainstream"--Central to the visual and economic culture of its time.

Abstract

Global biennials have proliferated in the contemporary art world, but artists’ engagement with large-scale international exhibitions has a much longer history that has influenced the present in important ways. Going back to the earliest world’s fairs in the nineteenth century, this book argues that “globalism” was incubated in a century of international art contests and today constitutes an important tactic for artists. As world’s fairs brought millions of attendees into contact with foreign cultures, products, and processes, artworks became juxtaposed in a “theater of nations,” which challenged artists and critics to think outside their local academies. From Gustave Courbet’s rebel pavilion near the official art exhibit at the 1855 French World’s Fair to curator Beryl Madra’s choice of London-based Cypriot Hussein Chalayan for the off-site Turkish pavilion at the 2006 Venice Biennale, artists have used these exhibitions to reflect on contemporary art, speak to their own governments back home, and challenge the wider geopolitical realm—changing art and art history along the way. Ultimately, Caroline A. Jones argues, the modern appetite for experience and event structures, which were cultivated around the art at these earlier expositions, have now come to constitute contemporary art itself, producing encounters that transform the public and force us to reflect critically on the global condition.

Abstract

Un livre qui produit des expériences sensorielles tout en faisant ressortir le concept d'expérience lui-même en tant que sujet de critique et objet de contemplation. Experience offre une expérience de lecture incomparable. Une couverture thermosensible d’Olafur Eliasson révèle des mots, des couleurs et un dessin lorsque vous la touchez à la main. Les pages de garde conçues par Carsten Höller sont imprimées à l’encre contenant des quantités soigneusement calibrées de phéromones humaines synthétisées, estratétraénol et androstadiénone, évoquant la suggestibilité du désir humain. Les marges et les bords du livre sont conçus par Tauba Auerbach dans des couleurs complémentaires qui créent un effet de décalage dynamique lorsque le livre est déplacé ou fermé. Lorsque le livre est ouvert, des signets se détachent du centre-ville, sortant des impressions en toile d'araignée de Tomás Saraceno. L’expérience produit de l’expérience en mettant en évidence le concept lui-même en tant qu’objet de contemplation. L'expérience sensorielle du livre en tant qu'objet physique résonne avec l'expérience intellectuelle du livre en tant que contenant d'idées. Experience met en contact des artistes, musiciens, philosophes, anthropologues, historiens et neuroscientifiques, chacun explorant des aspects de l'expérience des domaines sensoriel et culturel. Les textes comprennent de nouveaux essais écrits pour ce volume et des textes classiques écrits par des personnalités telles que William James et Michel Foucault. La première publication du Centre pour l'art, la science et la technologie du MIT, Experience, aborde le sujet selon plusieurs modes. Conception de la publication de Kimberly Varella avec Becca Lofchie, Studio de conception d'objets de contenu. Concept de couverture par Olafur Eliasson en collaboration avec Kimberly Varella (Objet de contenu). Collaborateurs Tauba Auerbach, Bevil Conway, John Dewey, Olafur Eliasson, Michel Foucault, Adam Frank, Vittorio Gallese, Renée Green, Stefan Helmreich, Carsten Höller, Edmund Husserl, William James, Caroline A. Jones, Douglas Kahn, Douglas Kahn, Brian Kane, Leah Kelly , Bruno Latour, Alvin Lucier, David Mather, Mara Mills, Alva Noë, Jacques Rancière, Michael Rossi, Tomás Saraceno, Natasha Schüll, Joan W.Scott, Tino Sehgal, Alma Steingart, Josh Tenenbaum, Rebecca Uchill. Experience offers a reading experience like no other. A heat-sensitive cover by Olafur Eliasson reveals words, colors, and a drawing when touched by human hands. Endpapers designed by Carsten Holler are printed in ink containing carefully calibrated quantities of the synthesized human pheromones estratetraenol and androstadienone, evoking the suggestibility of human desire. The margins and edges of the book are designed by Tauba Auerbach in complementary colors that create a dynamically shifting effect when the book is shifted or closed. When the book is opened, bookmarks cascade from the center, emerging from spider web prints by Tomas Saraceno. Experience produces experience while bringing the concept itself into relief as an object of contemplation. The sensory experience of the book as a physical object resonates with the intellectual experience of the book as a container of ideas. Experience convenes a conversation with artists, musicians, philosophers, anthropologists, historians, and neuroscientists, each of whom explores aspects of sensorial and cultural realms of experience. The texts include new essays written for this volume and classic texts by such figures as William James and Michel Foucault -- Provided by the publisher.
