Description

A new reality for the art object has emerged in the world of contemporary art: it is now experienced less as an autonomous, inanimate form and more as an active material agent. In this book, Kaira M. CabaA±as describes how such a shift in conceptions of artâ?Ts materiality came to occur, exploring key artistic practices in Venezuela, Brazil, and Western Europe from the mid-twentieth century to the present. Immanent Vitalities expands the discourse of new materialisms by charting how artists, ranging from Gego to Laura Lima, distance themselves from dualisms such as mind-matter, culture-nature, human-nonhuman, and even Westernâ?"non-Western in order to impact our understanding of what is animate. Tracing migrations of people, objects, and ideas between South America and Europe, CabaA±as historicizes changing perceptions about artâ?Ts agency while prompting readers to remain attentive to the ethical dimensions of materiality and of social difference and lived experience.
