This important new book examines contemporary art while foregrounding the key role feminism has played in enabling current modes of artmaking, spectatorship and theoretical discourse. Contemporary Art and Feminism carefully argues the links between feminist theory and practice of the last four decades of contemporary art and offers a radical re-reading of the contemporary movement. Rather than focus on filling in the gaps of accepted histories by ' adding' the ' missing' female, queer, First Nations and women artists of colour, the authors seek to revise broader understandings of contemporary practice providing case studies contextualised in a robust art historical and theoretical basis. Readers are encouraged to see where art ideas come from and evaluate past and present art strategies. What strategies, materials or tropes are less relevant in today' s networked, event-driven art economies? What strategies and themes should we keep hold of, or develop in new ways? This is a significant and innovative intervention ideal for students in courses on contemporary art within Fine Arts, Visual Studies, History of Art, Gender Studies and Queer Studies.
"This book is an exciting contribution to the history of contemporary art. Not simply giving an account of ' feminist art' , Millner and Moore instead interrogate how feminist thinking and practice has impacted, influenced, and changed forever contemporary art. ' Feminist art' after all, is not a subsection of the art world, but a name describing how a set of politics has impacted art. That this book, with its internationalism viewed from Australia, decenters the dominant contemporary art world adds to the radical potential in its pages. " - Hilary Robinson, Professor of Feminism, Art, and Theory, Loughborough University
