| book description |

How do artists challenge us to see the everyday world around us with fresh eyes? How do they make our world strange? A century of defamiliarized art, from Marcel Duchamp to Rachel Harrison This substantial volume brings together nearly 250 art works spanning more than 100 years that ask us to reconsider how we look at the world. Brought together by Chara Schreyer over the course of three decades, these works invite us to rethink our perception of the everyday in the wake of Duchampâ€™s radical reimagination of the art object and the Russian literary critic Viktor Shklovskyâ€™s conception of â€œmaking strange.â€ Whether looking at the idea of â€œmaking strangeâ€ in the work of Duchamp and Oâ€™Keeffe, the legacy of Minimalism and its discontents in the sculptures of Judd and GonzÃ¡lez-Torres, the idea of disaster in America as seen through the eyes of Warhol and Ligon, the uses of language in the works of Weiner and Holzer or the restaging of life through photography from Arbus to Sherman, this catalog reevaluates the relationship between art and the world.
