Documenting the visual artsSince their emergence in the late 1940s as a distinct genre, documentaries about the visual arts have made significant contributions to art education, public television, and documentary filmmaking, ... yet they have received little scholarly attention from either art history or film studies. Bringing together an international range of scholars, as well as filmmakers and curators, Documenting the Visual Arts explores the rich variety in form and content of the contemporary art documentary. Whether considering documentaries about painting, sculpture, photography, performance art, site-specific installation, or fashion, the chapters of the book engage with the key question of intermediality: how film can reframe other visual arts through its specific audio-visual qualities, in order to generate new ways of understanding those arts. The essays illuminate furthermore how art documentaries raise some of the most critical issues of the contemporary global art world, specifically, the discourse of the artist, the dynamics of documentation, and the visuality of the museum. Contributors discuss documentaries by filmmakers such as Frederick Wiseman, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Jia Zhangke, and Trisha Ziff, and about artists such as Michael Heizer, Ai Weiwei, Do Ho Suh, and Marina Abramović.Type of material - bookPublication and manufacture - London ; New York : Routledge, 2020Language - englishISBN - 978-1-138-56599-9; 978-1-138-56598-2COBISS.SI-ID - 41468163
