Fionnáin reviewed Art Power (Short Circuits S.) by Boris Groys
Review of 'Art Power (Short Circuits S.)' on 'GoodReads'
2 stars
Limited art criticism by Groys that takes well-documented examples (Broodthaers, Duchamp) and uses them as examples for the formation of new thinking in art. Much of this theory echoes art criticism from the 1990s and introduces very little in the line of new ideas. Some thoughts on technology begin in the early chapters but are not fully explored later. Disappointing, as I have read high praise of Groys and have not yet enjoyed any of his writing.
