Product Description Art and its Shadow is an extraordinary analysis of the state and meanig of contemporary art and film. From cyberpunk to the work of Andy Warhol, Wim Wenders and Darekj Jarman, Mario Perniola examines the latest and most disturbing tendencies in art. He explores how at--notably in posthumanism, psychotic realism and extreme art-- art--continues to survive despite the hype of the art market and the world of mass communication and reporduction. He argues that the meaning of art in the modern world no longer lies in aesthetic value (which lies above the artwork), nor in popular taste (which is below the artwork), but beside the artwork, in the shadow created by both the art establishement and the world of mass communications. | ||
