"Expanded Internet Art is the first comprehensive art historical study of "expanded" internet art practices. Charting the rise of a multidisciplinary approach to online artistic practice in the past decade, the text discusses recent currents in contemporary artistic practice that parallel the explosion of the internet through advances such as social media, smart phones, and faster bandwidth. Internet art is no longer determined solely by its existence on the web; rather, contemporary artists are making more art about informational culture using various methods of both online and offline means. It asks how artists, such as Seth Price, Harm van den Dorpel, Kari Altmann, Artie Vierkant and Oliver Laric, create a critical language in response to the persuasive influence of informational capture on culture and expression, where the environment itself becomes reorganized to be more legible as information"--

"This is the first book to provide experiential and theoretical grounds for integrating the bodily, somatic senses into our understanding of how we make and engage with visual art. The somatic senses include touch, kinaesthesia, proprioception, balance, temperature, gut feelings, emotions, pain and pleasure, and range from surface contact to deep internal stirrings. They connect the outer world to one's innermost "body-mind", making the body both a field that perceives and interacts with art. Rosalyn Driscoll shows how using that touching can deepen what we know through seeing, and even serve as a genuine alternative to sight. She proposes that tactile, somatic memory and experience is embedded in visual perception of art. Awareness of the somatic senses offers rich aesthetic and perceptual possibilities for art making and appreciation. Written by Rosalyn Driscoll, a visual artist who spent years making tactile, haptic sculpture, the book conveys her understanding of the nature of touch and the somatic senses and how they may be consciously integrated into creating and perceiving artworks. The book considers the basic elements of the somatic senses: the perceptual, existential differences between touch and sight; the reciprocal nature of touch; the objective and subjective dimensions of touch; the structure, abilities and potential of the hand; the centrality of motion and emotion; haptic time, space and memory; somatic visualization and imagination; and the implications of haptic, somatic awareness for artists, art museums and the culture at large. This will be of use for students of museum studies, fine art, art history and sensory studies"--Abstract.

"Art/Commons is the first book to theorise the commons from the perspectives of contemporary art history and anthropology, focusing on the ongoing tensions between art and capitalism. This study is grounded in an analysis of contemporary artistic and curatorial practices, which the author describes as practices of commoning, based on co-production, participation, mutualism and the valorization of reproductive labour. Mollona proposes a novel theoretical approach to current debates on the commons, and shows that art can provide both a language of anti-capitalist and post-colonial critique as well as a distinctive set of skills and practices of commoning."--

"Japonisme, the nineteenth-century fascination for Japanese art, has generated an enormous body of scholarship over the last twenty years, but most of it neglects women, who also acquired objects from the Far East and displayed them in their homes before selling or bequeathing them to museums. The stories of women collectors and shopkeepers rarely appear in memoirs left by those associated with the japoniste movement. The present volume thus brings to light the culturally important, yet largely forgotten artistic activities of women such as Clèmence d'Ennery (1823-1898), who began collecting Japanese and Chinese chimeras in the 1840s, built a house for them in the 1870s, and bequeathed the 'Musèe d'Ennery' to the state as a free public museum in 1893. A friend of the Goncourt brothers and a fifty-year patron of Parisian dealers of Asian art, d'Ennery's struggles to gain recognition as a collector and curator serve as a lens through which to examine the japonisme of other women of her day, from dealers of Japanese art (Madame Desoye, Florine Langweil), salon hostesses (Princesse Mathilde, Louise Cahen d'Anvers), and writers and actresses (Judith Gautier, Sarah Bernhardt), to travellers (Isabella Stewart Gardner, Louisine Havemeyer), and artists (Mary Cassatt, Marie Nordlinger). Largely absent from the history of japonisme, these women-and many others-actively collected Japanese art, interacted with auction houses and art dealers, and formed collections now at the heart of museums such as the Louvre, the Musèe Guimet, the Musèe Cernuschi, the Musèe Unterlinden, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art"--Abstract.

"Mediated Messages presents a collection of original writing exploring the role played by the media in the development of postmodern architecture in the 1970s and 80s. The book's twelve chapters and case-studies examine a range of contemporary periodicals and exhibitions to explore their role in the postmodern. This focus on mediation as a key feature of architectural post-modernism, and the recognition that post-modernism grew out of developments in the media, opens up the possibility of an important new account of post-modernism distinct from existing narratives. Accompanied by a contextualizing introduction, the essays are arranged across four thematic sections (covering: images; international postmodernisms; high and low culture; and postmodern architects as theorists) and present a range of case-studies with a genuinely international scope. Altogether, this work makes a substantial contribution to the historical account of architectural postmodernism, and will be of great interest to researchers in postmodernism as well as those examining the role of the media in architectural history".
