Art and Archaeology : Collaborations, Conversations, Criticisms Hardback
Edited by Ian Alden Russell, Andrew Cochrane
Part of the One World Archaeology series
Hardback
Description
This volume presents a collection of interdisciplinary collaborations between contemporary art, heritage, anthropological, and archaeological practitioners.
Departing from the proceedings of the Sixth World Archaeological Congress’s ‘Archaeologies of Art’ theme and Ábhar agus Meon exhibitions, it includes papers by seminal figures as well as experimental work by those who are exploring the application of artistic methods and theory to the practice of archaeology.
Art and archaeology: collaborations, conversations, criticisms encourages the creative interplay of various approaches to ‘art’ and ‘archaeology’ so these new modes of expression can contribute to how we understand the world.
Established topics such as cave art, monumental architecture and land art will be discussed alongside contemporary video art, performance art and relational arts practices.
Here, the parallel roles of artists as makers of new worlds and archaeologists as makers of pasts worlds are brought together to understand the influences of human creativity.
