Synopsis:
From the Bauhaus to Buckminster Fuller, from Elvis to ecology, the writings of John McHale (1922-1978) engage a diverse set of concerns. The Expendable Reader highlights McHale's theorization of technology and communication and their impact on traditional ideas of culture. Assembled from a broad range of sources, this book enables a sharper grasp on McHale's thinking and on our own cultural situation.
About the Author: John McHale (1922-1978) was an artist, theorist of "pop art," futurist, and critic. A key member of the Independent Group at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts in the early 1950s, his artwork is held in several museums internationally. Alex Kitnick holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University and has taught at Vassar College and at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
