| Summary: | "Decoys and Disruptions is the first comprehensive collection of writings by American artist and critic Martha Rosler. Best known for her video, photography, performance, and installation, Rosler has also been an original and influential cultural critic and theorist for over twenty-five years. The writings collected here address such key topics as documentary photography, feminist art, power hierarchies, questions of public and private spheres, the politics of early video, government patronage of the arts, censorship, and the future of digitally based photographic media. Taken together, these thirteen essays not only show Martha Rosler's importance as a critic but also offer an essential resource for readers interested in the issues confronting contemporary art, including production and reception, representation and appropriation, ethics and aesthetics and accuracy and responsibility."--BOOK JACKET. |
