Description
Contemporary Art and Anthropology explores new approaches to representational practices in contemporary art and anthropology. Traditionally, the anthropology of art has focused on interpreting tribal artifacts, but this book considers how such art can influence its own creation and presentation. The authors argue that contemporary artists and anthropologists can learn from each other's practices, leading to innovative research strategies. The contributors examine topics such as shared representational values, aesthetics, and modernity, as well as the practice of tattooing. They draw on the work of artists like Susan Hiller, Francesco Clemente, and Rimer Cardillo, suggesting new directions for both art and anthropology. This book challenges conventional approaches in both fields, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of contemporary art and anthropology.
