Developing the position that \"contemporary art is postconceptual art,\" the book progresses through a dual series of conceptual constructions and interpretations of particular works to assess the art from a number of perspectives: contemporaneity and its global context; art against aesthetic; the Romantic pre-history of conceptual art; the multiplicity of modernisms; transcategoriality; conceptual abstraction; photographic ontology; digitalization; and the institutional and existential complexities of art-space and art-time. \u003ci\u003eAnywhere or Not at All\u003c\/i\u003e maps out the conceptual space for an art that is both critical and contemporary in the era of global capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWinner of the 2014 Annual Book Prize of the Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present (USA)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Osborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781680949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781680940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014","brand":"Peter Osborne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979660165375,"sku":"9781781680940","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1381cd13-ead5-4fae-ae7d-201111d347d6.jpg?v=1683246406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anywhere-or-not-at-all-peter-osborne-9781781680940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
