Installation Art and the Practices of Archivalism Paperback / softback
by David Houston Jones
Part of the Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
On the leading edge of trauma and archival studies, this timely book engages with the recent growth in visual projects that respond to the archive, focusing in particular on installation art.
It traces a line of argument from practitioners who explicitly depict the archive (Samuel Beckett, Christian Boltanski, Art & Language, Walid Raad) to those whose materials and practices are archival (Miroslaw Balka, Jean-Luc Godard, Silvia Kolbowski, Boltanski, Atom Egoyan).
Jones considers in particular the widespread nostalgia for ‘archival’ media such as analogue photographs and film.
He analyses the innovative strategies by which such artefacts are incorporated, examining five distinct types of archival practice: the intermedial, testimonial, personal, relational and monumentalist.
