Reviews

Teeming with insights, <i>Mirror Affect</i> is a long-overdue reevaluation of artworks with mirroring and reflective properties. Cristina Albu argues that the tension between the private and the public, self and other, opens up a conflicted space, but one that is necessary to construct a new, revitalized sense of the social. Colin Gardner, University of California, Santa Barbara</p> <i>Mirror Affect</i> is a detailed and timely analysis of the materiality of contemporary installation art, disclosing how the artworks' mirror structures build intersubjectivity as the spectators experience them. Christine Ross, author of <i>The Past is the Present; It s the Future Too: The Temporal Turn in Contemporary Art</i></p>
