In the Maze of Media : Essays on the Pathways of Art after Minimalism

Technologies and techniques have informed artistic practices and discourses since the avantgardes' heyday, and their proliferation, now in an increasingly digital culture, has continually transformed the very idea of the medium in global contemporary art.

The contributions from internationally renowned scholars, curators, and artists gathered in the present volume map and interrogate this intimate nexus by forging diverse pathways through the political force fields, technological milieus, and ecological environments in which both art and media are situated and interwoven in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

As a festschrift, the book also pays tribute to the impact and influence of the art historian Eric C.

H. de Bruyn's work.
