Reviews

'While scholarship on the intersection between art and architecture is by no means novel, the editors and authors of Contemporary Art about Architecture: A Strange Utility illuminate a developing area of this crossing that is distinct and for which no other volume of its extent exists. The text's tone is highly academic and intended for audiences versed in contemporary art history ... This book is a welcome addition to the interdisciplinary literature of art and architecture, and it is highly recommended for libraries collecting in both contemporary art and architecture.' Arlis 'While the essays are rich in historical and archival evidence, they are also ontological investigations, grounded in theory. And together, they offer a framework for understanding the unique nature of contemporary art's relation to architecture in light of poststructuralism and the institutional critiques of the 1970s and 1980s.'
