While destruction as a theme can be traced throughout art history, from the early atomic age it has remained a pervasive and compelling element of contemporary visual culture. Damage Control features the work of more than 40 international artists working in a range of media--painting, sculpture, photography, film, installation, and performance--who have used destruction as a means of responding to their historical moment and as a strategy for inciting spectacle and catharsis, as a form of rebellion and protest, or as an essential part of re-creation and restoration. Including works by such diverse artists as Jean Tinguely, Andy Warhol, Bruce Conner, Yoko Ono, Gordon Matta-Clark, Pipilotti Rist, Yoshitomo Nara, and Laurel Nakadate, the book reaches beyond art to enable a broader understanding of culture and society in the aftermath of World War II, under the looming fear of annihilation in the atomic age, and in the age of terrorism and other disasters, real and imagined. 650 0 $a Violence in art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a War in art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Disasters in art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art and nuclear warfare $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art and society $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 20th century $x Themes, motives $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 21st century $x Themes, motives $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Ferguson, Russell, $e author. 700 1 $a Gamboni, Dario, $e author. 710 2 $a Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, $e host institution. 710 2 $a MuseÌe d'art moderne Grand-Duc Jean, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Kunsthaus Graz, $e host institution. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717023548.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222043053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2367CD2CA36B11E3A3DF8D90DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
