"This important new book examines contemporary art while understanding the key role feminism has played in enabling current modes of artmaking, spectatorship and theoretical discourse. Contemporary Art and Feminism carefully argues the links between feminist theory and practice of the last four decades and contemporary art and provides a radical re-reading of the contemporary movement. Rather than focus on filling in the gaps of accepted histories by 'adding' the 'missing' female and queer artists, the authors seek to revise broader understandings of contemporary practice providing case studies contextualised in a robust art historical and theoretical basis. Readers are encouraged to see where art ideas come from and evaluate past and present art strategies. What strategies, materials or tropes no longer work in today's networked, event-driven art economies? What strategies and themes should we keep hold of, or develop in new ways? This is an important new intervention ideal for students studying courses on women and contemporary art within Visual Studies, History of Art, Gender Studies and Queer Studies"--, Provided by publisher
