Becoming Past : history in contemporary art by Jane BlockerPublication Date: 2016-01-01
Is there such a thing as contemporary art history? The contemporary, after all--as much as we may want to consider it otherwise--is being made history as it happens.

Focusing on a significant aspect of current art practice in which artists have engaged with historical subject matter, methods, and inquiry Blocker asks how the creation of the artist implicates and interrogates that of the art historian.
