I can say this, the title of the book can be misleading. The intro of the book tracks the explorations of an otherwordly being on an anthropological mission who finds himself gathering information on a planet called earth.
Just as the concept of "love" is strange for this being, so is the idea of "Art" when first introduced. Several times, the author retells the arrival of this being as he is exposed to what Art means c/o a different representative of each art movement (from the late 1800's to now.) Obviously each tale provides an extraordinary philosophical worldview that competes with the others.
It's a really interesting approach towards framing the trajectory of Contemporary Art through Modernism, Post-Modernism, and Now.
And this is just the book's Introduction chapter!

Well in his defense, the book was released on MIT Press and the author has written for Art Forum on several occasions.
I confess I didnt make it through the whole book (because of other reading obligations), but I found the first 100 pages very impressive.

I think the greatest, truest and purest form of art is where the artist and the art becomes one and is removed from any pretention and motivation outside itself. That must be most difficult and challenging but i think Jandek comes pretty close.

I think there has to be another renaissance type event. Maybe this won't happen until after we're long dead. The trouble with living after the arse end of the 20th century, we all expect total innovation NOW.
