Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
For several decades now, art has been leaving museum halls in search of a more vital interactive context. Some feel that this search represents a broad shift in perspective whose time has come. This set of essays is an attempt to formulate an ideological understanding inclusive of installation, performance, site-specific work, and other manifestations frequently encountered yet generally misunderstood. What makes this book useful and different is its collaborative slant: each author was aware of what the others were doing. Most of the writers, among them Lucy Lippard and Suzi Gablik, are well known in the field. The book acts literally as a conceptual map clarifying recent art history and helping to define unifying traits such as a strong social orientation, ecology, and new technologies. The reader is left with a better understanding of what exactly "new genre" means. Highly recommended for museum and academic libraries.-Sue Olcott, Columbus Metropolitan Lib., Ohio
