Memory Art in the Contemporary World
Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-84822-422-3 (ISBN)
This thought-provoking and highly relevant book reflects on the various forms and critical potential of memory art in a contemporary world which both obsesses about the past, in the building of monuments and museums and an emphasis on retro and nostalgia in popular culture, and simultaneously fosters historical amnesia in increasingly flattened notions of temporality encouraged by the internet and social media.
