In this volume of selected essays, interviews, curatorial texts and reviews, spanning 1986-2012, Joshua Decter examines contemporary art in relation to its various ideological, public, discursive, and social contexts. The book encompasses seven chapters: -Institutional Critique and its Discontents-; -Aporia -; -Everything is Social-; -Convoluted Cities-; -The De-definition of Art-; -What Do We Want from Exhibitions?-; and -On the Curatorial Road.- The author unpacks art's paradoxical condition: art problematizes, and is intrinsically a problem. From this standpoint, he analyzes art's definitions, functions, ethical entanglements, societal aspirations and cultural contradictions.
