<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Once at the margins of the art world, film now occupies a prominent place in museums and galleries. <i>Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art</i> explores the emergence of cinema as a primary medium of artistic production, offering an in-depth inquiry into its genesis, its defining features, and its ramifications. Erika Balsom also tackles cinema studies' great disciplinary obsession--namely, what cinema was, is, and will become in a digital future. Rich in theoretical reflections and critical analyses, <i>Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art</i> offers insights into the whole history of cinema from the vantage point of today's art.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Erika Balsom's <i>Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art</i> represents a significant attempt from the field of rilm studies to remedy the neglect of this important strand in visual culture. ... Given its challenging and unstable object of study, <i> Exhibiting Cinema</i> is a book of great merit and relevance. -- <b>Paolo Magagnoli</b>, Senses of Cinema, March 2015 <p/> This book is one I have been hoping to encounter for quite a while. It is rich in theoretical reflections as well as critical analyses of works, and makes a very strong case for a new form of art and a new form of cinema in one. It is theoretically complex and elegantly written. And due to its rich theory-analysis intertwinements and historical insights, it spans, rather than the 1990-2010 as the author suggests, the entire history if cinema from the vantage point of today's art." -- <b>Mieke Bal</b>, Professor of Theory of Literature and a founding director of the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) <p/> Erika Balsom's <i>Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art</i> is our first sustained critical history of one of the most important dimensions of contemporary art: the encounter of the cinema with the museum, the art gallery, and new practices of moving image installation. It is also a deep examination of the persistence of a certain memory of cinema that persists as a subject of critical re-examination by the most fascinating artists of our time. It is a path-breaking book that will long remain unsurpassable. -- <b>D.N. Rodowick</b>, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies, and Director, Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Balsom ====== Erika Balsom is lecturer in Film Studies and Liberal Arts at King's College London.
