Description
Book SynopsisAn interdisciplinary study of contemporary artists and filmmakers whose work examines the increasingly precarious subjects of house and home.
Trade Review"An important, timely, and professionally presented collection, Breaking and Entering features artists, architects, and individual works that merit serious and extended discussion." Mark A. Cheetham, Department of History of Art, University of Toronto " Breaking and Entering will generate and excite intellectual debate. This stimulating collection of essays identifies some of the disruptive, invasive and critical approaches to domesticity and ' home' in work across different media - installation art, architecture, photography, and film. Contributors invite the reader to explore the (often tricky) relationship of art, architecture and film to topical issues of homelessness, economic recession, gender politics and migration." Gill Perry, The Open University "Well-researched and original discussions of domesticity, [Breaking and Entering] highlights the complex meanings that support our understandings of the house. It also clearly shows how artists' engagements with architecture should become sustained dialogues between the two disciplines, so that their critical readings may be used to complete architects' attempts at transforming domestic environments."
