Description
Painting beyond Itself: The Medium in the Post-medium Condition explores the changing role of materiality in establishing painting as the privileged practice, discourse, and institution of modernity. This book brings together an international group of scholars, critics, and artists to discuss various conceptions of the medium and its specificity.
Through a rich exchange of historical, theoretical, and practice-grounded ideas, Painting beyond Itself offers a forum for conversation about the medium's significance in contemporary art. The contributors' diverse perspectives shed new light on the complex relationships between materiality, theory, and artistic practice.
