Description

Site-Writing: The Architecture of Art Criticism explores the sites of engagement with art, prioritising the material, emotional, political, and conceptual settings of the artwork's construction, exhibition, and documentation. This book examines the ways in which art criticism can be shaped by psychoanalytic approaches, such as free association and conjectural interpretation.

Through a diverse range of artworks by artists including Jananne Al-Ani, Elina Brotherus, Nathan Coley, Tracey Emin, Christina Iglesias, and Do-Ho Suh, Site-Writing investigates the spatial configurations that underpin art criticism. By putting the sites of engagement first, the book offers a fresh perspective on the discipline of art criticism.

Published in 2011, Site-Writing is a thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which art criticism can be shaped by psychoanalytic approaches. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of art, criticism, and theory.
