{"product_id":"9781804292884","title":"Disordered Attention : How We Look at Art and Performance Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ways we encounter contemporary art and performance is changing. Installations brim with archival documents. Dances stretch for weeks. Performances last a minute. Exhibitions are spread out over thirty venues. There are endless artworks about mid-century architecture and design. How are we expected to engage with today's diverse practise? Is the old model of close-looking still the ideal, or has it given way to browsing, skimming, and sampling?Across four essays, art historian and critic Claire Bishop identifies trends in contemporary practice - research-based installations, performance exhibitions, interventions, and invocations of modernist architecture - and their challenges to traditional modes of attention. Charting a critical path through the last three decades, Bishop pinpoints how spectatorship and visual literacy are evolving under the pressures of digital technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45477847498973,"sku":"9781804292884","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781804292884.jpg?v=1720432507","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781804292884","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
