The Artist's Joke, edited by Jennifer Higgie

The Artist's Joke, edited by Jennifer Higgie is one of a series documenting major themes and ideas in contemporary art, its well funny, its a good laugh, well for art theory it is.


Favourite quote:


'Goofing-off requires developing a fine-tuned sense of what it means to pause long enough and distance oneself far enough from worldly objects and events to recognise their illusory dimension and thereby reinvest the world with wonder. In order to really goof-off well, the instrumental sense of purpose deeply ingrained in Western ego and epistemology must be abandoned.'
