Hardback. New. <p><i>Slant Steps </i>explores the vital role of the semi-periphery—artistic communities working between the provinces and the metropole. Premised on the collective fascination with the found object <i>Slant Step</i> the book details a history of encounters among artists filmmakers critics and others operating in and out of the Bay Area during the long 1960s. They revised the terms of the counterculture the appeal of consumer goods and the surfaces and materials of industrial design and contemporary sculpture. Whether extending to international exchanges or shrinking to local coteries these circles helped develop process funk and conceptual art as they forged new directions for the art world and its members. Yet when these groups degraded their own works alongside those of their rivals they made their political and aesthetic commitments difficult to decipher reorganizing the ties between the visual arts and the New Left. Merging sociologies of art with the tradition of social art history Jacob Stewart-Halevy uncovers the oblique perspectives and values of the semi-periphery revealing its enduring impact upon contemporary art above all in the field of pedagogy.</p> hardcover

Hardback. New. <b>Considers the enduring legacy of California Conceptualism known for its lax approaches to creating writing about and exhibiting art.</b><br />  <br /> Moving away from making objects and turning instead to staging scenes the artists associated with California Conceptualism—including Eleanor Antin John Baldessari David Lamelas Tony Ramos Ilene Segalove and William Wegman—behaved indifferently toward their art denied making it and knowing what it was about and displayed a lack of concern for its future. Their casual attitude and aesthetic transformed relationships between artists critics and viewers separating those who could recognize these practices from those who could not.<br />  <br /> Contemporary artists have continued this trajectory finding new ways to act casually through their “stance.†In the humanities this term is often taken to mean the beliefs values and intentions of authors and it has offered a useful way to think about how artists position themselves toward their work and audiences. Jacob Stewart-Halevy builds on recent social theory to show how artists critics and other members of the art world wield stance to make sense of artworks and their social circumstances arguing that through the rise of conceptual art stance has come to supplement—and in some cases replace—the aesthetic quality of artworks.  <br />  hardcover
