Contemporary Art and Anthropology takes a new and exciting approach to representational practices within contemporary art and anthropology. Traditionally, the anthropology of art has tended to focus on the interpretation of tribal artifacts but has not considered the impact such art could have on its own ways of making and presenting work. The potential for the contemporary art scene to suggest innovative representational practices has been similarly ignored. This book challenges the reluctance that exists within anthropology to pursue alternative strategies of research, creation and exhibition, and argues that contemporary artists and anthropologists have much to learn from each others'practices. The contributors to this pioneering book consider the work of artists such as Susan Hiller, Francesco Clemente and Rimer Cardillo, and in exploring topics such as the possibility of shared representational values, aesthetics and modernity, and tattooing, they suggest productive new directions for practices in both fields. Anthropology And Art Practice Takes An Innovative Look At New Experimental Work Informed By The Newly-reconfigured Relationship Between The Arts And Anthropology. This Practice-based And Visual Work Can Be Characterised As 'art-ethnography'. In Engaging With The Concerns Of Both Fields, This Cutting-edge Study Tackles Current Issues Such As The Role Of The Artist In Collaborative Work, And The Political Uses Of Documentary. The Book Focuses On Key Works From Artists And Anthropologists That Engage With 'art-ethnography' And Investigates The Processes And Strategies Behind Their Creation And Exhibition. The Book Highlights The Work Of A New Generation Of Practitioners In This Hybrid Field, Such As Anthony Luvera, Kathryn Ramey, Brad Butler And Karen Mirza, Kate Hennessy And Jennifer Deger, Who Work In A Diverse Range Of Media - Including Film, Photography, Sound And Performance. Anthropology And Art Practice Suggests A Series Of Radical Challenges To Assumptions Made On Both Sides Of The Art/anthropology Divide And Is Intended To Inspire Further Dialogue And Provide Essential Reading For A Wide Range Of Students And Practitioners.-- The Challenge Of Practice / Arnd Schneider And Christopher Wright -- Appropriations / Arnd Schneider -- Moon And Mother : Francesco Clemente's Orient / Christopher Pinney -- Where Green Grass Comes To Meet Blue Sky : A Trajectory Of Josef Šíma / Michael Richardson -- Encounters With The Work Of Susan Hiller / Denise Robinson -- Reflections On Art And Agency : Knot-sculpture Between Mathematics And Art / Susanne Küchler -- Artists In The Field : Between Art And Anthropology / Fernando Calzadilla And George E.
