Questioning History: Imagining the Past in Contemporary Art
Book Description
During the past several decades, contemporary artists have
asked critical questions about the way in which history is constructed
through images, particularly those that are disseminated by the mass
media. As the media has increasingly assumed the role of
historiographer, there is a danger of losing the diversity of our
historical narratives. Add to this the globalization of our culture, and
we are faced with a potential dulling of our collective historical
awareness. In Questioning History, editors Frank van der Stok,
Frits Gierstberg and Flip Bool focus on different ways in which
contemporary visual artists, photographers and filmmakers have
constructed historical narratives through images and offer a selection
of essays that examine artists' innovative challenges to prevailing
historical narratives.
