Reviews

This book is essential for libraries supporting graduate programs in art history or curatorial studies and is recommended for schools of art and design. -Ian McDermott, ARLIS/NA Reviews All About Process brings a wealth of art-historical knowledge and perceptive theoretical insight to analyze the crucial but elusive concept of artistic process and makes a powerful argument for its importance, not simply as an indispensable tool for creating more interesting art objects but as part of the essence of art itself. Kim Grant's book provides a welcome resource for resisting the forces of commodification while closing the gap between art and life. -Richard Shusterman, author of Thinking Through the Body: Essays in Somaesthetics This is an elegant, clear text that will serve as an excellent primer for anyone interested in the histories of thinking about making and the artistic process. Art students as well as students of aesthetics and history of art will benefit from its careful, thoughtful synthesis of an array of complex, foundational texts pertaining to the theme of `process' and making. -Jo Applin, author of Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Room-Phalli's Field
