Wonder in Contemporary Artistic Practice (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Mieves, Christian; Brown, Irene

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Wonder has an established link to the history and philosophy of science. However, there is little acknowledgement of the relationship between the visual arts and wonder. In this book, artists, curators and art theorists give accounts of their approach to wonder through the use of materials, objects and ways of exhibiting.
