Synopsis

The arrival of the moving image in contemporary art has provoked a great deal of discussion amongst critics, artists and curators, and presents a serious challenge to our understanding of the traditional media and institutions of film, painting and sculpture. "The Reader" aims to address these issues and generate further art historical study. "Art and the Moving Image" presents an array of critical, theoretical, and historical responses that pertain to this paradigm shift: its cause, its motivation, and its aesthetic, social, and political significance. This stimulating collection brings together the most significant writings from leading art historians, curators, artists, theorists, and philosophers, and it includes seminal historical articles, as well as recent criticism, including newly translated and commissioned essays.
