{"product_id":"theory-rules-2","title":"Theory Rules","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn art theory, as in cultural life generally, there has a long been tension between theory and artistic practice. The desire to resolve these tensions has been a principal impulse shaping artistic work and criticism over the last century. The last decade has seen the emergence of a broad, interdisciplinary body of theoretical work with a distinctive relationship to artistic practice, providing a common reference in artworks to the principles and vocabularies of theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sixteen essays in this collection were originally presented at an international conference entitled `Art as Theory \/ Theory and Art,' held at the University of Ottawa in late 1991. The contributors - critics, curators, and practising artists from Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia, look at the current relationships between theory and practice in the fields of art, communication, and cultural studies from a wide range of viewpoints. Areas of interest include the institutionalization of theory, theories of vision, gender theory and feminist positions, and theory in a post-colonial context. This volume answers some important new questions about the points of intersection between theory and visual art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Edited by Jody Berland, Will Straw, and David Tomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55075339370876,"sku":"9781442664647","price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442664647.jpg?v=1743626417","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/theory-rules-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
