Writing Art and Architecture

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the intersection of architecture, design, and art, Andrew Benjamin explores a rich tradition of modern philosophical criticism, engaging with notable figures like Rachel Whiteread and Anselm Kiefer. His essays emphasize the importance of judgment in criticism, transforming aesthetic objects into more than mere documents. By addressing the 'particularity of material events,' Benjamin reveals the latent potential within these works, proposing fresh avenues for contemporary critical practice and contributing significantly to the discourse on materialist aesthetics.
