About this title

Synopsis

Focusing on vintage and contemporary sets, VCRs and TV accessories, "From Receiver to Remote Control" explores how the advent of television has shaped our individual and communal identities. New connections between high art and popular culture appear as the catalogue examines societal attitudes influenced by this non-traditional art object. Essays and interviews by Serafina K. Bathrick, Lynn Spigel, David Tafler and 12 others encompass communication, sociology, art, business, history and design. Extensive illustrations and reprints of advertisements document how the television set continually transforms domestic space and culture.

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
