Andrea Feeser

Jimmie Durham, Europe, and the Art of Relations (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates Jimmie Durham's community-building process of making and display in four of his projects in Europe: Something ... Perhaps a Fugue or an Elegy (2005); two Neapolitan nativities (2016 and ongoing); The Middle Earth (with Maria Thereza Alves, 2018); and God's Poems, God's Children (2017).

Andrea Feeser explores these artworks in the context of ideas about connection set forth by writers Ann Lauterbach, Franz Rosenzweig, Pamela Sue Anderson, Vinciane Despret, and Hirokazu Miyazaki, among others. Feeser argues that the materials in Durham's artworks; the method of their construction; how Durham writes about his pieces; how they exist with respect to one another; and how they address viewers, demonstrate that we can create alongside others a world that embraces and sustains what has been diminished.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in contemporary art, animal studies, new materialism research, and eco-criticism.
