Art and the Moving Image: A Critical Reader published by Tate and Afterall

Tate Publishing and Afterall have released 'Art and the Moving Image: A Critical Reader', an anthology exploring the intersection of cinema and contemporary art over the past fifty years. The book examines how moving images have migrated from black-box cinemas to white-cube galleries, challenging traditional mediums like film, painting, and sculpture. It includes key texts by theorists such as Giorgio Agamben, Beatriz Colomina, Serge Daney, Rosalind Krauss, Maurizio Lazzaratto, and Peter Wollen, with some essays newly translated or previously unavailable. Laura Mulvey calls it an indispensable guide. The volume traces early spatial experiments with film and video to the current prevalence of projected images in museums. It addresses why contemporary art has turned cinematic and what happens when cinema is exhibited. The title is no longer available.
