Review:
Immersing oneself in this rich and diverse collection of short reflections on materiality is an incredibly pleasurable and rewarding experience.
(Diana Coole, Professor of Political and Social Theory, Birkbeck, University of London)What makes Petra Lange-Berndt's new book so relevant in the conversation about art's place within material culture is how it makes unmistakably clear that the meaning of the term Materiality is not bound to our discussion around objects, artefacts or commodities alone but connected to far-reaching philosophical concepts and models. The book takes the reader from examinations of terms such as dematerialization and immateriality in the digital world to the hybrid context of inter- and transmateriality. What Materiality ultimately proposes is that we learn (again) to see material, that we listen to matter and that we let the substances that art is made of communicate their own agency.
(Jens Hoffmann, Director, The Jewish Museum, New York)In Materiality Lange-Berndt has compiled a palimpsest of comment on waxiness, stickiness, smoothness and colour; of wood, mud, stone and sugar. Extracts from both theorists and artists combine to remind us of the elemental ways in which materials have formed art and art practice. A fundamental text that expands our understanding of materiality, from the multiple perspectives of global art practice and critical theory.
(Haidy Geismar, Reader in Anthropology, University College London)Why matter matters is an important matter as feminist philosopher and scientist Karen Barad writes. And it matters what matters we use to think other matters with, as Donna Haraway reminds us. I welcome this new book about materiality. It explores questions of embodiment in our age of vituality, and that is no small matter.
