Beschreibung
Preservation, Radicalism, and the Avant-Garde Canon interrogates the contemporary significance of the avant-garde. The contributors question the role of academia and exhibition cultures in redefining, reshaping, preserving, and transmitting the products of this historical phenomenon. Such contemporary scholarly and exhibition-based exploration institutionalizes avant-garde productions and, in doing so, threatens the potency of the avant-garde which relies on its marginal position. This volume brings together case studies to examine what constitutes the avant-garde canon.
Combining a range of content with self-reflexive examination by scholars and practitioners, this edited volume interrogates the contemporary significance of the avant-garde. Rather than focusing on a particular region, period, or movement, the contributors bring together case studies to examine what constitutes the avant-garde canon.

“Preservation, Radicalism, and the Avant-Garde Canon aims to investigate radical art in order to further critical thinking about the avant-garde. … The editors have fully conceptualized the book and skillfully chosen well-versed scholars across disciplines. The objects of study are appropriate and the prose is readable.” (Carol Martin, Theatre Journal, Vol. 69 (1), March, 2017)

"Written by academics, curators and artists, it provides fresh insights into some high-profile avant-garde figures while shedding new light on a wealth of lesser-known practitioners. The book's engagement with the preservation of avant-garde work raises important curatorial and museological questions, while remaining alert to the risk of commodifying the avant-gardes. In challenging the parameters that have all too often restricted our understanding of the phenomenon, this book redefines the avant-gardes as emphatically plural, nomadic, and powerfully relevant in the twenty-first century." - Eric Robertson, Professor, Modern French Literary and Visual Culture, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
"This wonderful book carefully scrutinizes - and brilliantly revitalizes - avant-gardist ambitions to displace, destabilize and deterritorialize artistic genres, academic disciplines, national canons and other tired frameworks: the margins keep coming!" - Nikolaj Lübecker, authorof The Feel-Bad Film
