Chance Ed. by Margaret Iverson (Document in Contemporary Art)

Chance Ed. by Margaret Iverson (Whitechapel Gallery / 2010) 

Part of the 'Documents in Contemporary art' series published by the Whitechapel Gallery in conjunction with MIT Press. The spontaneous, unexpected or random event is a vital component in numerous works of Expressionism, Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus and conceptual photography. And the camera snapshot seems intrinsically implicated in the workings of chance. But why today does chance remain a key strategy in artists' investigations into the contemporary world? This anthology analyses the meaning of these strategic spaces of uncertainty, poised between intention and outcome, and provides a new critical context for chance procedures in art since 1900.

Softcover. Signs of having been read / consulted, but on the whole this book remains in VERY GOOD condition with clean, unmarked pages which are free from notes and underlining and light wear only to cover and spine.
