HealthThe ethical, aesthetic and political significance of practices, positions and theories connected to health in contemporary art. In an era of diet pills, rising antidepressant usage, yoga, and ... health-management apps, wellness is one of the defining issues of contemporary life, affecting every intimate aspect of our lives. Historically, art has been entwined with the values of medicine, beauty, and the productive body that have defined Western scientific paradigms. Contemporary artists are increasingly confronting and reshaping these ideologies, drawing on the vexed experiences surrounding questions of health and identity. Health explores the ethical, aesthetic, and political significance of practices and theories connected to health and illness in contemporary art. Raw, confrontational, and affective, these texts consider pressing discourses in artistic practices including care, shifting identities and community building. The featured artists, curators, writers, and thinkers engage with the ways the vulnerability of our bodies and the maladies that seize them also reveal structural aspects of our societies: how hegemonic narratives are connected with ideas of health, disability, and cure, and how sickness intersects with sexuality, ethnicity, gender, and class. By reclaiming other existences--beyond what is considered straight, healthy, neurotypical, or productive--this reader questions the myths, stigmas and cultural attitudes that shape people's perceptions of illness and normativity.Vrsta gradiva - zbornik ; neleposlovje za odrasleZaložništvo in izdelava - London : Whitechapel Gallery ; Cambridge (Mass.) ; London : The MIT Press, 2020Jezik - angleškiISBN - 978-0-85488-286-1; 978-0-262-53946-3COBISS.SI-ID - 59173123
