Thought-provoking read, even if it suffers from a mix of over-complex and pretentious passages where the author seems to have the right interpretation for everything. ( ) Limited art criticism by Groys that takes well-documented examples (Broodthaers, Duchamp) and uses them as examples for the formation of new thinking in art. Much of this theory echoes art criticism from the 1990s and introduces very little in the line of new ideas. Some thoughts on technology begin in the early chapters but are not fully explored later. Disappointing, as I have read high praise of Groys and have not yet enjoyed any of his writing.

Art has its own power in the world, and is as much a force in the power play of global politics today as it once was in the arena of cold war politics. Art, argues the distinguished theoretician Boris Groys, is hardly a powerless commodity subject to the art market's fiats of inclusion and exclusion. In Art Power, Groys examines modern and contemporary art according to its ideological function. Art, Groys writes, is produced and brought before the public in two ways-- as a commodity and as a tool of political propaganda. In the contemporary art scene, very little attention is paid to the latter function. Arguing for the inclusion of politically motivated art in contemporary art discourse, Groys considers art produced under totalitarianism, Socialism and post-Communism. He also considers today's mainstream Western art-- which he finds behaving more and more according the norms of ideological propaganda: produced and exhibited for the masses at international exhibitions, biennials and festivals. Contemporary art, Groys argues, demonstrates its power by appropriating the iconoclastic gestures directed against itself-- by positioning itself simultaneously as an image and as a critique of the image. In Art Power, Groys examines this fundamental appropriation that produces the paradoxical object of the modern artwork. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
