Item Number: 137080 Title: Contemporary Art & Other Bagatels Author: Riva, Alessandro Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788898855155 Description: Falciano: Maretti, 2014. 21cm., pbk., 124pp. illus. English text. Summary: What is the relationship today between contemporary art and its audience? Why exhibitions and biennials have stopped catalyze the interest of non-experts, who pretend to be interested in the strange world of contemporary art, when actually they are not able to understand anything of what they are seeing? The art has permanently lost the contact with the mass audience? And then, we are still able to see a work of art, without the help of captions, biographies and interpretative texts? Are we all suffering a curious syndrome - the "syndrome of Little Red Riding Hood" - that prevents us from seeing the true essence of art, making us feel lost as the girl who mistook the wolf for her grandmother?. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O. Box 3904, Kingston, New York 12402 US Phone: 845-331-8519 Fax: 845-331-0852 Email: michael@artbooks.com |
