Reviews
As close to a textbook on contemporary art as was published this year, Decter s Art Is a Problem is itself a problem neither comprehensive salvo nor dry historical survey. Uniting Decter s critical and curatorial output from 1986 to 2012, the book comprises texts from both career endeavors, including an important interview with Thelma Golden on the question of representation within the museum and curatorial essays from several of the author s pioneering exhibitions. (I also happen to have cited one of his early projects in my review of another Best of 2014 selection, New Ghost Stories at the Palais de Tokyo.) Students of the period and of Decter s areas of interest (art in institutional, social, and discursive contexts, among others) will find this volume indispensable., The author examines art's ability to problematize political and cultural discourses, and to express its own unique and knotty contradictions., As close to a textbook on contemporary art as was published this year, Decter's Art Is a Problem is itself a problem -- neither comprehensive salvo nor dry historical survey.

Synopsis
This volume of selected essays, interviews, reviews, and curatorial texts, spanning the period of 1986-2011, represents a significant part of Joshua Decter's ongoing work as an educator, curator, and critic.His discourse is driven largely by a productivist vision of the artwork to the extent that Decter rejects the conventional dichotomy of form and content by which art is presumed to hold meaning like a vessel.Accordingly, he questions contemplative aesthetics and the baggage that goes with it - quality, authorship, connoisseurship, and autonomy. Decter sees the artwork from a public perspective and consistently probes its function as a collective representation, its placement in a cultural continuum, and the social relations organized around it.Structured in seven chapters, this book revolves around Institutional Critique, the relations of art and politics, the emergence of platforms for art as a new paradigm, the privatisation of the public sphere, the un-definition of art, and curatorial practices.This book is part of the Documents series, co-published with Les presses du réel and dedicated to critical writings., 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 (art as politics, the politics of art)"; "Everything is Social"; "Convoluted Cities"; "The (Un)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., 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.
