Media Reviews
This is a much-needed primer on the role of critical thought in the art of the last twenty years. At a time when some have mourned - or alternatively celebrated - the death of art theory, this valuable anthology traces its viability - indeed, its necessity - for understanding recent aesthetic practice.
