Parachute : The Anthology : 1975 - 2000 : Painting, Sculpture, Installation & Architecture : Vol. IV

''This final volume of the Parachute anthology gather together essays dealing with the so-called ''academic media.'' Painting, sculpture, installation, and architecture are debated from several perspectives : from new theories of aesthetic production to the expansion of the art worl, from the ''lessons'' of postmodernism to the definition and exhibition challenges causes by the proliferation of installation art. Essays discuss artists such as Mona Hatoum, Guillermo Kuica, Louise Lawler, Reinhard Mucha, Robert Ryman, Michael Snow, and include Dan Graham on Gordon Matta-Clark and Jeff Wall on Edouard Manet.''-- p.
