Art vs. TV
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-5013-7057-1 (ISBN)
The artists discussed belong to different generations: those that emerged in the 1960s in association with art movements such as Pop Art, Fluxus and Happening; and those appearing on the scene in the 1980s, whose work aimed at deconstructing media representation in line with postmodernist theories; to those arriving in the 2000s, an era in which, through reality shows and the Internet, anybody could potentially become a media personality; and finally those active in the 2010s, whose work reflects on how old media like television has definitively vaporized through the electronic highways of cyberspace.
These works and phenomena elicit a tension between art and television, exposing an incongruence; an impossibility not only to converge but at the very least to open up a dialogical exchange.
Francesco Spampinato is Associate Professor at the University of Bologna, Italy. His research in contemporary art history and visual studies focuses on the relationships between contemporary art, media, and technology, with particular attention to topics such as postmodernism, collective practices and electronic culture.

TV: A Brief History of Contemporary Artists’ Responses to Television (Bloomsbury 2022).
