The Archive

Více o knize

Part of the acclaimed 'Documents of Contemporary Art' series of anthologies. This anthology explores ways in which the archive has become central in visual culture's investigations of history, memory, testimony and identity. Surveying the full diversity of our transformed theoretical and critical notions of the archive, as both idea and as physical presence, this publication includes writings by Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, Hal Foster and many others, and essays on the archival practice of such artists as Gerhard Richter, Susan Hiller, Ilya Kabakov, Christian Boltanski, Renée Green and The Atlas Group.
