Description
Book SynopsisBrings a maverick perspective and provocative voice to the issues of contemporary painting, gender representation, and feminist art
Trade Review“Far more than a collection of random essays, Schor’s deliciously titled
Wet is a cohesive and lively group of writings addressing issues central to the practice and theory of postmodern art. One is compelled to respect her passion and eloquence and to enjoy her rhetorical flair.
Wet is a ‘must’ for all scholars, critics, and artists interested in the contemporary art scene.”—
Amelia Jones, author of
Postmodernism and the En-gendering of Marcel Duchamp“Mira Schor’s collected critical art essays are witty, insightful, incisive. As artist, writer, and magazine editor, she shows us cracks in the art world’s walls. She is up-to-date, on target. In a controversial field, she is a bold and confrontational critic.”—
Nancy Spero, artist
“
Wet is a great read. Schor is gloriously fierce, often hilarious, and has boldly trod on powerful, or at least fashionably clad toes.” -- Erica Rand * Bookforum *
“Where have all the feminists gone? Let us hope they are all putting together collections like this one by Schor, a painter, writer and teacher at the Parsons School of Design…. Feminist, artists and other keepers of our subversives fires will certainly find a home in this inspiring collection.” * Publishers Weekly *
