Each chapter examines artistic responses to a particular discipline of knowledge, from quantum theory and theosophy to cybernetics and ethnic futurisms. The authors argue that art’s incursion into other intellectual disciplines is a defining characteristic of both modernism and postmodernism. Throughout, the volume poses a series of larger questions: is art a source of knowledge? If so, what kind of knowledge? And, ultimately, can it contribute to our understanding of the world in ways that thinkers from other fields should take seriously?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction – James Fox and Vid Simoniti\u003cbr\u003e1 Modern art and spiritual knowledge – Lucy Kent\u003cbr\u003e2 Twentieth-century revolutions in art and science – Gavin Parkinson\u003cbr\u003e3 Psychoanalysis and art: a new theory of objects – Margaret Iversen\u003cbr\u003e4 Before the visual turn: twentieth-century historians and the uses of art – Tom Stammers\u003cbr\u003e5 Knowledge, truth, history: contemporary art and the problem of art-historical periodisation – Peter Osborne\u003cbr\u003e6 Art \/ Economics – Allan Antliff\u003cbr\u003e7 Art and cybernetics: a new ontology for art – Mara Polgovsky Ezcurra\u003cbr\u003e8 Art into society: organised labour, workplace sociology, and artmaking in 1970s Britain – Catherine Spencer\u003cbr\u003e9 Knowledge, nation, and colour in documentary photography – Julian Stallabrass\u003cbr\u003e10 Art and biotechnology: on the limits and potential of interdisciplinary arts – Vid Simoniti\u003cbr\u003e11 Ethnic futurisms and contemporary art – Alice Ming Wai Jim\u003cbr\u003e12 The politics and aesthetics of climate emergency – T.
