Description
Crisis as Form by Peter Osborne explores how contemporary art responds to social crisis. The author examines the relationship between artistic form and crisis, arguing that understanding this connection is crucial for giving artistic form to crisis. Osborne's essays consider various aspects of contemporary art, including its critical function, medium-specificity, and its relationship with time. Through a close analysis of individual works and exhibitions by Luis Camnitzer, Marcel Duchamp, Matias Faldbakken, Anne Imhof, and Cady Noland, the book sheds light on the deeper terms of art-judgment. By investigating the constitutive crisis of form in contemporary art, Osborne aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how artistic expression can be used to address social crises.
