Críticas:

"The everyday might be everywhere but this astutely edited, accessible and comprehensively documented collection brings contemporary art practice and the ordinary into rewarding realignment for the first time." - Alan Read, author of Theatre and Everyday Life: An Ethics of Performance "Stephen Johnstone has put together a highly instructive and page-turning selection of some of the most intriguing writings examining the aesthetics of the everyday. Not only this, he also creates a revealing journey through some of the most pressing issues confronting us today." - Jens Hoffmann, Director, CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco

Reseña del editor:

Part of the acclaimed 'Documents of Contemporary Art' series of anthologies.

Numerous international exhibitions and biennales have born witness to the range of contemporary art engaged with the everyday and its antecedents in Dada and Surrealism, Pop, Situationism and Fluxus. Art’s turn to the ordinary is symptomatic of a desire to address things in the world, rather than the history and institutions of art. It shows a recognition of ordinary dignity or the accidentally miraculous; an engagement with a new kind of anthropology; an immersion in the pleasures of popular culture; or a meditation on what happens, when nothing happens. The celebration of the everyday has oppositional and dissident overtones, offering a voice to the silenced and proposing possibilities for change. This collection of writings by artists, theorists and critics assembles for the first time a comprehensive anthology on the everyday in the world of contemporary art.
