Opis

Once at the margins of the art world, film now occupies a prominent place in museums and galleries. "Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art" explores the emergence of cinema as a primary medium of artistic production, offering an in-depth inquiry into its genesis, its defining features, and its ramifications. Erika Balsom also tackles cinema studies' great disciplinary obsession--namely, what cinema was, is, and will become in a digital future. Rich in theoretical reflections and critical analyses, "Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art" offers insights into the whole history of cinema from the vantage point of today's art.
