Social Medium: Artists Writing, 2000–2015

Edited by Jennifer Liese

Listed among ArtNews’s best art books of the decade

Since the turn of the millennium, artists have been writing, and circulating their writing, like never before. The seventy-five texts gathered here—essays, criticism, manifestos, fiction, diaries, scripts, blog posts, and tweets—chart a complex era in the art world and the world at large, weighing in on the exigencies of our times in unexpected and inventive ways.

Release Date: October 20, 2016. 
544 pages. 
Perfect bound, 6 x 8 1/2".

Praise for Social Medium: 

“A thoroughly engrossing read ... entertaining as well as intellectually stimulating.”
—Oliver Basciano, ArtReview

 

“The distinct textures of these individual voices together produce a larger portrait – not of a collective, but of art with a capital A: something far from prescription or cohesion, unable to be contained, requiring the work and words of many.”
— Jennifer Krasinski, Frieze

 

“As this indispensable anthology so engagingly demonstrates, legions of artists armed with laptops have for the past fifteen years brilliantly hacked the ways we think about 21st-century culture and politics. Full of imaginative texts and revolutionary ideas, this is a user’s guide to the postinternet era.”
—Brian Wallis, editor of Blasted Allegories: An Anthology of Writings by Contemporary Artists

 

“This is such a beautiful book because the real thought balloon of the art world is exactly these brainy and ecstatic citizens’ writings. Hang out a lot with them please — gain everything and miss nothing. Watch ‘democracy’ get palped and monitored, challenged and witnessed here. I’d call Social Medium a deep vacation into the present, which we totally need.”
—Eileen Myles, author of Chelsea Girls
