内容简介：

本书聚焦于芝加哥艺术学院（Art Institute of Chicago）深厚且多样的摄影、书籍及其他印刷品、装置艺术、摄影集、相册以及时间基媒体藏品。这本雄心勃勃、范围广泛的著作收录了众多杰出艺术家、策展人、大学教授以及独立学者的短篇论文，这些论文探讨了理解当今摄影与媒体艺术不可或缺的主题。

论文围绕从常规到深奥的各种主题展开，并与藏品中的关键作品相结合，以探讨美学、历史、哲学、权力关系、生产以及接受等问题。书中超过400幅高质量的图片不仅增强了作者的论点，还跨越了传统的时间线、类型、地域和技术界限，激发了更多对话。

开篇由Matthew S. Witkovsky撰写的引言性论文，追溯了博物馆收藏的历史，以及博物馆藏品的发展如何反映出摄影与媒体艺术领域批判性接受方面的更广泛变化。

A roster of prominent artists, curators, and scholars offers a new, entirely contemporary approach to our understanding of photography and media

Focusing on the Art Institute of Chicago’s deep and varied collection of photographs, books and other printed matter, installation art, photobooks, albums, and time-based media, this ambitious, wide-ranging volume features short essays by prominent artists, curators, university professors, and independent scholars that explore topics essential to understanding photography and media today. The essays, organized around themes ranging from the expected to the esoteric, are paired with key objects from the collection in order to address issues of aesthetics, history, philosophy, power relations, production, and reception. More than 400 high-quality reproductions amplify the authors’ arguments and suggest additional dialogues across conventional divisions of chronology, genre, geography, and technology. An introductory essay by Matthew S. Witkovsky traces the museum’s history of acquisitions and how the evolution of the museum’s collection reflects broader changes in the critical reception of the field of photography and media.
