Review of 'The emancipated spectator' on 'GoodReads'

A fascinating study on the role of the spectator in contemporary visual art, with a focus on the body and the image. Presents a broad array of research relating to image and engagement and forms a theory proposing that contemporary art needs to consider both body and image in presentation. Some heavy writing but manages to avoid jargon.
