商品簡介
The first of two volumes (the second is in press) arising from a March 2003 symposium, this book examines the interactions between archaeology and contemporary visual art: the influence of archaeology on contemporary art, and the influence of contemporary art on archaeologists' interpretation & understanding of material culture of past ages. Renfrew (archaeology, MacDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Cambridge) and others consider three approaches to the subject: substance, by which is meant material substance, relevant to artists and archaeologists alike; memory; and display, such as comparisons between art galleries & archaeological museums. Contributors include two artists as well as a dozen archaeologists. No subject index. Distributed in the US by the David Brown Book Co. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
