Politics Poetics - Catherine David
documenta X - the book
KORTE INHOUD
Rijk geïllustreerd. Prachtige lay-out!
This book seeks to indicate a political context for the interpretation of artistic activities at the close of the twentieth century, through a montage of images and documents from the immediate post-war period to the present. The range of material treated here is not encyclopedic; it represents a polemical attempt to isolate specific strands of artistic production and political endeavor which can be taken as references in the contemporary debate over the evolution of our societies.
Drawing from distinct yet interrelated territorial and linguistic domains, the book singles out complex cultural responses to the unifying processes of global modernity.
The effects of juxtaposition created by the montage technique upset the strict divisions between work, document, and commentary, creating a multifaceted, polyphonic structure.
Yet this structure is undeniably oriented, and crystallizes in a number of key questions. These are developed at the end of the book in essays and interview...
