In “The Big Picture: Contemporary Art in 10 Works by 10 Artists,” Matthew Israel, Artsy’s Curator at Large, examines 10 artworks that trace the development of contemporary art. Below are a series of excerpts from his book, out March 28th from Prestel.
Contemporary art is notoriously difficult to understand and can be quite intimidating. For one, unlike past movements, the range of artistic styles of the present haven’t been digested by critics, curators, and art historians and don’t lend themselves to easy categorization.
The Big Picture offers an approachable and accessible overview of contemporary art since the millennium, through just 10 works by 10 artists. Drawn from the fields of photography, painting, performance, sculpture, installation, video, film, and public art, the works selected range widely—from Andreas Gursky’s large-scale color photograph of the Rhine to Ai Weiwei’s installation of children’s backpacks following the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to Kara Walker’s massive sugar sculpture in Brooklyn’s former Domino Sugar refinery.
Answer:
A research assistant and I are conducting primary research on artist in residency programs (artists, writers, etc.) and the use of contemporary art at historic sites to reinvigorate or reinterprete the site. The project includes interviewing artists, site managers, and curators as to the specifics about organizing an artist in residence program and the challenges and opportunities of creating such a program. Contemporary artists can often make us look at historic sites, objects, and or stories/interpretation in new ways. We are exploring what contemporary art, often with a social conscious, can bring to interpretation at historic sites.
