This issue of Art + Australia (the third in the journal’s new academic context) extrapolates contemporary and historically-infected notions of the plague. Within this metaphor, a n umber of doom-laden scenarios are clustered: not only pestilence -- by whatever contagious agent and through whatever toxic medium: disease, data cloud or drone -- but also collapse, crash and extinction. These ideas are examined through various cultural moments and artistic practices.ISBN 9770100043012. A+A Publishing. pb. 21.5 x 13.8 cm.available Show more
