Contemporary art has never been so popular - but what is 'contemporary' about contemporary art? What is its role today, and who is controlling its future? Bloody toy soldiers, gilded shopping carts, and embroidered tents. Contemporary art is supposed to be a realm of freedom where artists shock, break taboos, flout generally received ideas, and switch between confronting viewers with works of great emotional profundity and jaw-dropping triviality. But away from shock tactics in the gallery, there are many unanswered questions. Who is really running the art world? What effect has America's growing political and cultural dominance had on art? Julian Stallabrass takes us inside the international art world to answer these and other controversial questions, and to argue that behind contemporary art's variety and apparent unpredictability lies a grim uniformity. Its mysteries are all too easily explained, its depths much shallower than they seem. Contemporary art seeks to bamboozle its viewers while being the willing slave of business and government. This book is your antidote and will change the way you see contemporary art.

讀第二次的效果不如讀第一次的 還是擺脫不了廢話太多 東拉西扯的通病

对八九年到两千年初当代艺术的左翼政经分析，鲜少触及当代艺术作品文本本身，在姿态上了或也暗示了当代艺术之强烈依附政经的鲜明特质。作者在质疑与反对全球化自由贸易语境下的capital's servitude与Neoliberalism的同时，也对左派学人的部分观点做了犀利的剖析与批判，展现了难得的反思力 (criticality and self-criticism)，只是这种反思力仍然囿限于左翼／马... 对八九年到两千年初当代艺术的左翼政经分析，鲜少触及当代艺术作品文本本身，在姿态上了或也暗示了当代艺术之强烈依附政经的鲜明特质。作者在质疑与反对全球化自由贸易语境下的capital's servitude与Neoliberalism的同时，也对左派学人的部分观点做了犀利的剖析与批判，展现了难得的反思力 (criticality and self-criticism)，只是这种反思力仍然囿限于左翼／马克思宏大叙事 (meta-narrative) 的肆意遮蔽之下。 (展开)
