What does the artist\u0026rsquo;s novel do to the visual arts? How should such a novel be experienced? \u003ci\u003eThe Artist\u0026rsquo;s Novel: The Novel as a Medium in the Visual Arts\u003c/i\u003e finds its momentum in the current international art scene, where the debate about the hybridisation of visual arts and literature is becoming increasingly prominent. In recent years, there has been a proliferation of visual artists who create novels as part of their wider art projects. They do so in order to address artistic issues by means of novelistic devices, favouring a sort of art predicated on process and subjectivity, introducing notions such as fiction, narrative, and imagination. In this sense, it is possible to speak of a new medium in the visual arts; yet, very little is known about it. This two-volume publication is the first to explore in depth the subject of the artist\u0026rsquo;s novel.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePart 1: \u003ci\u003eA New Medium\u003c/i\u003e aims to elucidate the pressing questions posed by the emergence of a new artistic medium with a theoretical approach to a number of key case studies (Benjamin Seror\u0026rsquo;s \u003cem\u003eMime Radio\u003c/em\u003e, Cally Spooner\u0026rsquo;s \u003cem\u003eCollapsing in Parts\u003c/em\u003e,\u0026nbsp;Mai-Thu Perret\u0026rsquo;s\u003cem\u003e The Crystal Frontier\u003c/em\u003e, and Goldin+Senneby\u0026rsquo;s \u003cem\u003eHeadless\u003c/em\u003e), which critically examines the different ways contemporary artists have employed the artist\u0026rsquo;s novel. The intention is not to fix a definition of what the artist\u0026rsquo;s novel is, but rather to situate it within the broader field of the visual arts in the hopes of sparking a much-needed discussion about a practice that has long been ignored by the main critical strands in art discourse.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.moussepublishing.com/?product=/the-artists-novel-a-new-medium/\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":630,"name":"David Maroto","category":{"en":"Author","nl":"Auteur","fr":"Auteur"}}]}
