Carnival of Perception: Selected Writings on Art

Guy Brett

Open full text 10 citations

Abstract

This publication is a detailed collection of writings from over three decades of my work, selected and completely re-edited by the author to produce an entirely original sum of their parts. The conjoined writings explore the different contexts of my critical insight into the art production of artists located around the world. As such they reflect the idiosyncrasies of the art critical approach rather than an art historical investigation into movements and periods. Nevertheless, by placing discussions on the work of these disparate yet extraordinary artists together something of the reviewer, the art critic emerges, which in an academic context can be described as a distinct methodology. The book has a preface by Yve-Alain Bois and was launched by inIVA at the Hayward Gallery.
