An Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art

By (author) Henriette Huldisch, Contributions by Eugenie Brinkema, Contributions by Johanna Burton, Contributions by Emily Watlington






| book description |

Affect is an essentially indefinable, largely non-conscious quality that correlates to the experience of diverse emotional and physiological states. This exciting book examines the idea of affect in art. Drawing from an international cadre of contemporary artists working in a variety of media, this book addresses the question of how bodies are affected by intimate relationships with and through objects. The book investigates the kinds of intimate relationships we form with art; explores how art acts as a vehicle for affective engagement or transactions of desire; what role gender plays in affect; and how we experience this force in works of art.
