Philosophy; History of ideas

Jan Bryant looks at the strategies visual artists and filmmakers are using to criticise the social and economic conditions shaping our historical moment. She then assesses how the world is being positively re-imagined through their work today.

Located at the intersection of practice and theory, Bryant argues that an effective contemporary political aesthetics encompasses more than just analysis of a work's conceptual or aesthetic reality. It should also consider the impact the artwork has at the point of reception, the methods adopted by the artists and the relationships they engender with communities.

Reviews for Artmaking in the Age of Global Capitalism: Visual Practices, Philosophy, Politics

Jan Bryant has reopened the question of the relationship between politics and art via a thorough investigation of contemporary philosophy and an important number of artistic practices. Moving beyond the sterility of the identification of art with conceptualism by investigating practices that remain attentive to art's materiality, Bryant has written a book that will be equally important for practioners as well as those involved in the critical evaluation of contemporary art.--Andrew Benjamin, Kingston University London and University of Technology Sydney
