Zarina Bhimji, Michael Blum, Matthew Buckingham, Tacita Dean, Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica, Omer Fast, Andrea Geyer, Liam
Gillick and Philippe Parreno, Hiwa K, Amar Kanwar, Bouchra Khalili, Deimantas Narkevičius, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Walid
Raad, Dierk Schmidt, Erika Tan, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Art, History, and Anachronic Interventions since 1990 undertakes
a thorough methodological reexamination of the contribution of art to history writing and to its theoretical foundations.
The analytical instrument of anachrony comes to the fore as an experimental method, as will (para)fiction, counterfactual
history, testimonies, ghosts and spectres of the past, utopia, and the "juridification" of history. Eva Kernbauer argues that
contemporary art—developing its own conceptual approaches to temporality and to historical research—offers fruitful strategies
for creating historical consciousness and perspectives for political agency.
The book will be of interest to scholars
working in art history, historiography, and contemporary art.
